Stringers poster

A documentary about young freelance foreign correspondents, stringers, in Eritrea. Without much journalistic experience, they will report on the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia to a not very interested world. As stringers, they only get paid per item or article. The film provides a unique insight into the war correspondent's everyday life. The fight against local bureaucrats and the corpses that remain on the battlefield, extreme stress alternated with long times of waiting. A movie by Patrick Bratt.

En dag i sänder – Kampen mot HIV i Uganda poster
NR

One million children in Uganda are estimated to be orphaned as a result of the widespread HIV epidemic in the country. 190 000 live themselves with HIV. A large proportion of them are living on the street in absolute poverty without shelter or food. The Organization Love 4 Life has produced this film in collaboration with Erikshjälpen and the organization Crane in Uganda, to be broadcast on the World AIDS Day. All the money raised goes directly to Crane in Uganda, that is currently working with 70,000 street children in order to give them education, a safe place to stay, medicines, and a family community.

Julian Assange. Bradley Manning. Collateral murder. Cablegate. WikiLeaks. These people and terms have exploded into public consciousness by fundamentally changing the way democratic societies deal with privacy, secrecy, and the right to information, perhaps for generations to come. We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks is an extensive examination of all things related to WikiLeaks and the larger global debate over access to information.

Fången - Dawit Isaak och tystnaden poster
NR

By the autumn of 2026, 25 years will have passed since the Swedish-Eritrean journalist and author Dawit Isaak was arrested in Eritrea. He is thus the EU citizen who has been imprisoned the longest as a prisoner of conscience. To this day, Dawit Isaak has neither been charged nor convicted. Twenty-five years of quiet diplomacy by Sweden have failed to secure his release. The film was first broadcast on SVT in 2011, at which point Isaak had been imprisoned for 10 years.
