Sweden appears to be a model social state, but there is a surprising hidden drama unfolding in this new paradise on earth. In 1972, politicians introduced the groundbreaking Family of the Future programme, aimed at creating a modern society, where focus is placed on individual independence and not even family relationships can threaten personal happiness. After 40 years of this social engineering experiment, Sweden is a country of broken family ties. People often live alone and die alone; no one misses them. Artificially created social groups have replaced natural solidarity. A shocking testimony in the form of a film essay. (One World)
