ISRAEL PALESTINA PÅ SVENSK TV 1958-1989 (ISRAEL PALESTINE ON SWEDISH TV 1958-1989) 

‘Archive material doesn’t necessarily tell the story of what actually happened. But it says a lot about how it was told.’ This is how this impressive montage film about thirty years of Swedish state television coverage of Israel and Palestine begins. Göran Hugo Olsson illustrates how media representation of the conflict has evolved. The reports, interviews and newsreels show a spiral of violence that continues to spin. Politicians, officials, fighters and civil society all get their say in this piece.
