Islam in Sweden: Muslim Refugees and the Cost of Sweden's Kindness (EXCLUSIVE)
In a nation known for its hospitality, Sweden is grappling with a mounting refugee crisis. As refugees from war-torn regions seek shelter in unconventional spaces, tensions are rising. The government strives to provide basic necessities and education to the refugees, but with limited resources and a growing housing crisis, the strain on the country's famed hospitality becomes increasingly evident.
The film looks at the growing housing crisis within Sweden, as the influx of Muslim refugees overruns the system. Asylum seekers are being housed in out-of-season holiday centers as there is nowhere else for them to live. Processing of asylum applications has become log-jammed by the increased numbers.
For some Swedes, the influx of Muslim asylum seekers has become too much, and they are campaigning to stop more arriving. Some feel that Sweden changes its own character just to appease people of a different culture causing concerns that the country will lose its identity in pursuit of multiculturalism. Areas with high migrant populations are becoming virtual 'no-go' areas for Swedish police. This important documentary examines the growing backlash among Swedes who want to see less immigration and more integration.
Will Sweden's welcoming spirit endure?
