Den andra sporten (2013)
Outstanding!
From the great lines of qualitative entertainment coming out of Swedish Television I believe this year's best effort is by far Den andra sporten (The Other Sport in Swedish), a three episode series on the history, conditions and development of women's football in Sweden since the 1960's. The filmmakers have close-up and truly insightful access to all the main people of the movement and this in connection with a beautiful visual language and editing makes for a great, great experience watching the fight and struggle these women have had to endure for over 45 years. The story is told in a way even a not-so-sport-interested person can follow and enjoy. It always feels like a luxury living in a country where this type of public access TV is produced and shown without commercials or advertisement.
