Director Biography - Cecilia Gärding

In her schoolyears Cecilia experienced how several of her class mates started sympathizing with extremist ideas and became neo-Nazis. They later regretted their involvement and told her about their experiences.

During her years of studying to become a political scientist she lived in Husby, a Stockholm suburb mainly inhabited by immigrants. She experienced there how young people were targeted by radicalized groups as more public service withdrew from the suburb.

Cecilia also visited 4 European cities, Berlin, Nice, Brussels and Paris, in 2015 while touring with “We are like Oranges” that later were subjected to terrorist attacks. This experience made her more aware of the quest to do something against extremism in visual media.
