⭐ 9 / 10

From 1958 to 1989, public service monopolies prevailed in Sweden, and SVT's reporting from Israel and Palestine was unique. Their reporters were constantly onsite in the war-ravaged area, documenting everything from everyday stories to major crises. Archivist Göran Hugo Olsson has compiled these images of the rise of the Israeli state, interspersed with Palestine's freedom struggle, into a monumental event.
