Yesterday, on my way to Doc Lounge, I was on the phone with Chelsea in San Francisco. I told her I was on my way to see a documentary about Ebbe Carlsson. In the 80s his name spread like a rash all over the media. Ebbe caused the biggest scandal in modern swedish history. But it is totally weird to try to explain to someone who is not from here... and the fact that I hadn't had my tenth birthday when the whole thing happened doesn't make it easier... I told Chelsea he was chief of police or commisioner or something (as I remembered he was involved with the search for the person who murdered Olof Palme)... but the scandal was in fact that he wasn't. He was a book publisher with very good connections. This is like the best documentary I have seen in a really long time...sadly this trailer is only avaliable in swedish.
