Dokumentet – sex, sprit och solidaritet

This documentary details events from May 8, 1978, when a striking document circulated through the Aftonbladet editorial office. The document, titled "About our life at Aftonbladet, by the women in the Aftonbladet editorial office," contained accounts of sexual harassment and an entrenched alcohol culture, igniting significant discussion and leading to meaningful changes in Swedish journalism.
