The program includes Black and Middle Eastern actors which critics claim is historically inaccurate.
A new Swedish program on the country's history is being scrutinized due to portrayals by actors of different ethnicities.The History of Sweden will be broadcast this fall on Sweden's tax-funded state TV channel Sveriges Television AB after nearly three years of production, described by The Nordic Times as the network's biggest ever historical venture.Criticism has followed the arc of the project, however, due to Black and Middle Eastern actors front and center in previews.
As production has continued and publicity for the program has ramped up, more individuals have expressed antipathy toward the depictions shown in pre-released images. One of them is Jeff Ahl, a former member of Swedish Parliament.'History falsification in full swing,' Ahl wrote in May on X, formerly Twitter. 'The cultural Marxist poison must be purged from our 'universities,' which have turned into propaganda institutions, rather than serious institutions of learning.
