More about the movie

The documentary will mainly follow Veronica Hedenmark at work and on her frequent trips within Sweden and abroad. You will also get to know more about her driving forces and motivations. How she finds ways to deal with challenges as a leader and how she manages to balance the sorrow and happiness she is confronted with every day.

The movie will inevitably mirror society and the strategies different countries have chosen to create a society that is tolerant, encouraging and accessible to all. Sweden has a unique legislation but there are many good examples to learn from, especially when it comes to accessibility. Innovative ways to deal with mental barriers will also be presented.

We hope to be able to present the movie late fall 2010 or early spring 2011. The version we make for television will be approximately one hour long and the one we make for the movies one and a half.
