THE PRIZE OF SILENCE

The Prize of Silence is a four-part documentary series on how accusations of sexual assault against a little-known Stockholm club owner at the height of #metoo had repercussions far beyond the borders of Sweden.

A searing indictment of the cultures of silence and ingrained power structures amongst the cultural elites, The Prize of Silence lays bare the scandal and the ensuing chaos that would shake the foundations of one of Sweden’s most venerated cultural institutions, force the involvement of the Swedish King, and lead to the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature being cancelled.
