Staden brinner is an intense documentary that dives deep into the sociocultural tensions of a small Swedish town grappling with the arrival of Eritrean refugees. The film centers on 17-year-old Sara Westin, whose passion for anti-racism pushes her into the heart of this conflict. The atmosphere is thick; you can feel the weight of both hope and despair. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with the complexities of the situation, and the performances feel raw—especially the moments of tension between Sara and her ex-boyfriend. The tragic turn of events challenges the audience to reflect on the themes of identity and community. It’s a layered piece, not typical of the documentary genre.
