In the Grip of Gazprom

The war in the Ukraine has changed the way many European countries view Russian politics. Suddenly it became clear how dependent countries had become on Russian gas imports for decades and what Vladimir Putin was up to. However, no country needs more gas than Germany. It was only after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that the German government realized that Russia had long used gas as a weapon to impose its will on states. The instrument created for this purpose is the natural gas production company GAZPROM. So how did Germany become so dependent on Russian gas? The documentary shows how, over several decades and several changes of government, a broad alliance of politicians and business representatives did everything possible to secure Germany's energy supply with cheap Russian gas, while the Kremlin's foreign policy became increasingly aggressive and the warnings of experts went unheeded.

Ordförande Persson

A story from the innermost room of power, a contemporary historical depiction of 10 years of political life. In these interviews, Göran Persson tells with increasing sincerity about his meetings with foreign leaders, how he formed his governments and thought about his ministers. He describes his anger over opposition politicians and his frustration with the media. We must follow him in the triumph as EU President and in the disaster of the EMU elections. He talks about his divorce, about the grief after Anna Lindh and the difficulty of arranging a successor. He shares all thoughts of resigning, and he describes his longing for a farm in the country.
