Every single film Agnieszka Holland has mad that I have seen has been so breath takingly beautiful and powered by some feeling of great humanity to the extent that I am brought to tears nearly every time.

Most people are probably used to hearing world famous electronic pop-duo The Knife performing in English. In 2014, however, the duo released För alla namn vi inte får använda (For every name we’re not allowed to use) in collaboration with the Swedish art group Ful. The lyrics are in Swedish and honors refugees as unsung heroes, deserving of recognition. 

The song was performed as a part of an anti-nationalist cabaret, Europa Europa, which premiered during Almedalen week in Visby in 2014, which was an election year in Sweden. Tensions were high as the debate regarding migration intensified, in part due to what was dubbed the Migrant crisis, which peaked in 2015.  The cabaret was, according to Fuls own statement, “an anti-nationalist cabaret about Europe's violent and inhumane migration policies”. Europa Europa was touring the world between 2014 and 2016. 

A music video was released in which shots of dancers are cross cut with powerful political statements like “A world without borders” and “Tear the walls of Europe”:
