Dialogpolisen

Directed by Susanna Edwards
Main Producer: Siren Film

After the 2001 EU summit in Göteborg was marred by violent clashes between police and demonstrators, a government inquiry concluded that the Swedish police needed a deeper understanding of politically active groups. The Dialogue Police was created, with a team in Stockholm as the only unit in the country working full-time in this role. 

In 2022, amid demonstrations, Quran burnings, and climate actions, filmmaker Susanna Edwards followed the officers on their mission to safeguard everyone’s right to freedom of speech. In a polarized society, the team is united by humor and a shared calling: defending democracy with dialogue as their weapon.

THE DIALOGUE POLICE (2025) - Official Trailer

Demonstrasjoner. Koranbrenninger. Klimaaksjoner. I stormens øye står en gruppe svenske politibetjenter som har fått i oppgave å beskytte alles rett til ytringsfrihet. Et polarisert samfunn er deres daglige virkelighet. En broket gjeng av viljesterke individer forent av humor og et felles kall: å forsvare demokratiet med dialog som våpen.
