Available for over a year

Why is the far right so obsessed with Sweden? It has a population of only around 10 million people and is known for having some of the world’s most progressive social policies. That does not seem like very fertile territory for the far right. But on internet chat forums, Facebook and Twitter, reports about crime and immigration in Malmo and Stockholm routinely go viral. So why all the attention on this one country? And what links do Swedish activists have with the global alt-right? We travel to Stockholm to find out.
