The history of racism – a tv documentary

PROJECT: Television documentary segment CLIENT: UR - Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company YEAR: 2009 ROLE: Photographer, trailer editor

I shot a documentary segment in Ghana, West Africa for UR, The Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company- Childrens Televsion Department. The tv-series A history of racism aired in late 2009 on Swedish public service television. The trailer was edited by me but the final production will be done in-house at UR.

To a large extent this part of the Swedish/European and African history is not discussed in schools or otherwise, therefore the aim of this production is to complement the history books.

Photography: Benjamin Taft & Andreas Johnsen

Producer and interviewer: Teddy Goitom
