"We have been in production of this series for almost a year now, which in eight parts lets women of all ages and professions throughout the country tell the story of how the metoo appeal developed," says Helena Olsson, program client at SVT in a press release.

The metro movement began in the autumn of 2017 and in Sweden a number of well-known media men were singled out for various sexual harassment and abuse at an early stage.

"It is a story about a revolution that was largely obscured by the debate about a few media people and the press ethics.

In fact, it was a movement that fundamentally changed Sweden and we will try to describe that ", writes Olsson.

Criticism of SVT

In recent weeks, SVT has received criticism for contributing to a "metoo-backlash".

It concerns two men, reported but not charged with rape, who were allowed to give their picture without the reporting women giving their picture.

First, a press conference was broadcast live where Göran Lambertz, just released from prison after the preliminary investigation into a suspected rape was closed, was allowed to give his picture and speak disparagingly of the plaintiff.

Then the documentary "Persona non grata - Soran Ismail" was criticized for not including any of the women who reported him for sexual harassment, abuse and rape.

Soran Ismail and Göran Lambertz have denied allegations of crime.
