While based in Japan, Kristoffer remotely directed a feature on Sweden’s decision not to lock down during the COVID-19 pandemic—a stark contrast to many global responses.
The report, told through personal stories and on-the-ground footage, examined Sweden’s strategy of voluntary guidelines, the high public trust it required, and the complex realities that followed.
Produced in Swedish with Japanese subtitles, the segment aired on Yahoo Japan’s Expert Voices platform.
