From 1958 – 1989, public service monopolies prevailed in Sweden and SVT’s reporting from Israel and Palestine was unique. Their reporters were constantly on site in the war-torn area, documenting everything from everyday stories to major international crises. This extensive material is the basis for archival documentarian Göran Hugo Olsson’s (The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975) latest film in which images of the rise of the Israeli state are interspersed with Palestine’s struggle for  self-determination. News coverage with Yasser Arafat and interviews with Israeli foreign minister Abba Eban during a visit to Sweden have not been shown since the original broadcast. From the tenth anniversary of Israel’s founding to the First Intifada, perspectives and encounters with statesmen, civilians, revolutionaries, and intellectuals tell the story from myriad angles of an evolving media landscape.  There will be an intermission.
