A Song Called Hate
Writer
The pro-Palestinian, anti-capitalist, BDSM-provocative, techno-punk performance art ensemble (!) Hatari unsurprisingly drew attention to themselves with their performance at the Icelandic qualifiers for the Eurovision Song Contest. So much so that they won and therefore were allowed to perform at the main event in Tel Aviv. But what now? Should they boycott the event, swallow their idealism or use their airtime to criticise the host country for their illegal occupation of Palestine? The Icelandic director Anna Hildur joins the boys in the band all the way to the fateful final. Produced by the team behind the Nick Cave film '20,000 days on Earth'.

Iceland is the smallest nation ever to qualify for the World Cup, and the team and its incredible story have caught the attention of the entire world. But is it possible that the same forces that turned these boys into heroes also got the nation into trouble during the 2008 financial crisis? Through the players themselves and others, we learn what Icelanders hope for and what they fear.

Icelandic Pop music is a World known brand today. Before that happened, scores of Icelandic musicians had tried their luck abroad with little success. Today Icelandic bands and artists are household names along with the pristine Nature of Iceland. How did that happen and who are the main players? In this documentary series, we follow the evolution of Icelandic popular music from around 800 AD until today.
