Documentary stills of newspaper clippings in combination with headlines, drawings of the Swedish flag and tigers form a montage highly critical of society. The film was made in the course of one day in January, 1970: shot in the same morning, edited while in the camera, and developed that same afternoon.

A Swedish Tiger takes up elementary political questions, as topical today as in 1970 when the film was made. When will someone have the courage to break the silence?
