Den andra sporten (2013)
Beautiful on women's footballing conditions!
A documentary series in three episodes released by public access Swedish TV-channel SVT that shows the story of how the movement of women's football (or for Americans; soccer) came about in Sweden from the late 1960's. A very nice and stylish tale of fight and injustice that does not aim at telling everything in detail and instead focuses on particular characters that has been important for the overall forward-movement of this the other sport (Den Andra Sporten) that not necessarily refer to a less good version of football rather a different one that may, or may not, be as good if not better than the first one being men's football. The director have managed to reach each character with brilliant sensibility and respect and this warm and generous contact really communicates through the screen. For people interested in what women have to go through to do what they want, like and believe in this is an invaluable documentary TV-series, and not just telling the story of football.
