The Sweden we do not export


One of the nominees for the Scan Pix Award is Thomas H Johnsson. A Blues from Landskrona.

And for everyone who is not Swedish I can just briefly say that Landskrona has the reputation of being the most criminal city in Sweden with a lot of racism and despair. But - as always - there is a bigger picture to it. The speaker's voice in the background is just BRILLIANT - speaking in a dialect so funny and saying things so striking. What a contrast. Absolutely amazing.

A gotta-see even for those not speaking my beautiful mother tongue.
