Date: 2011-07-15

Green Youth members explain the enduring popularity in Sweden of the American 1920s dance, the Lindy Hop. A minor demonstration is included.

In the Swedish summer resort town of Visby, on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland, a group of young Green Party members has come to attend "Politicians Week" (Almedalsveckan), the annual festival of Swedish politics and civil society, in July of 2011. They bunk down on the floors of a local high school outside of town, and after a day of seminars and speeches, the young'uns break out the guitar - and some vintage dance moves - to enjoy the smiles of a summer night.
