Episode description

Irish filmmaker Dennis Harvey explores themes of migration and identity in his work, and many of his films feature people that he has gotten to know during his seven years spent on and off here in Sweden.

His film "The Building And Burning Of A Refugee Camp" documents how a group of far-right protestors set fire to a migrant camp in Dublin last year, and that led to a fascinating chat about racism, refugees and housing and much, much more. .

His next film "Celtic Utopia" will examine how young Irish people relate to their culture through music, and it was a pleasure to have him come on and talk about his fascinating work.
