1969
In 1969, Ingmar Bergman made the original Fårödokument, a documentary about the people who inhabit the small Swedish island of Fårö off the Gotland coastline. An inhospitable place in the winter, the island however attracts a large number of tourists from the mainland, keeping the industry and farming alive, but just barely. At the time of making the original documentary, the draw of the big city and employment was an attraction for many of the island’s young people who were abandoning Fårö for the mainland in increasing numbers, leaving the island’s prospects in a very poor state indeed.
