The World’s Smallest Parliament
Världens minsta parlamentDetails
The World's Smallest Parliament follows political life inside the parliament building in Mariehamn, Åland, Finland. Over a little more than a year, we try to find out how politics work in a small autonomous region. The answer: just like in a big one. We follow a group of charismatic characters across the political spectrum as they navigate collapsed electric hybrid ferry projects, an ignoring head of state from the mainland, and everyday problems like climate talibans and camouflaged feminists. The World's Smallest Parliament is a psychological tragedy about our democracy and polarization—and you are
playing the lead role, without ever having asked to be part of it.
