Nice People

[projekktor id=’22998′]

Nice People is a Swedish documentary directed by Karin af Klintberg and Anders Helgeson. It won the Commerzbank Audience Award at FilmFest Hamburg 2015.

A group of young men who fled the war in Somalia have ended up in a rural town in Sweden where integration is tough. Something needs to be done. Local entrepreneur Patrik Andersson gets an idea, who not use sport as a bridge to get people closer to each other? The goal: to create the first ever Somali national team in bandy and make it to the World Championship in Siberia. This is a story about racism and fear, but it’s also about bravery and doing something that hasn’t been done before.

Nice People begins a Canadian theatrical run in Toronto on February 5, 2016 at The Bloor Hot Docs Cinema. Visit here for more information.
