"WE ALL BELIEVE IN THE LIE THAT WE ARE ALL EQUALS IN SWEDEN"

Rojda Sekersöz, originally from Marash and born in Stockholm in 1989, is considered one of Sweden’s brightest young directors. The 6-episode series Young Royals, which appeared on Netflix last July, was talked about a lot, in every aspect, in every form. Based on Prince Wilhelm’s dream of a free life, which was dictated to him as a member of the Swedish royal family when he first attended boarding school, the series aims to illustrate Sweden’s class differences. The series’ screenwriter Lisa Ambjörn and Netflix’s Northern Europe director Tesha Crawford have revealed to the press that they are proud to work with Rojda Şekersöz, whom they consider one of Sweden’s brightest directors. While such praise is pleasing, I wonder if she had this praise mainly because she is only in the director’s chair.
