Tyst i klassen

Quiet in Class is a Swedish documentary that gets under your skin. In three episodes, the series shows how something horrific could happen at a seemingly ordinary school: a staff member secretly filmed students for years, while warnings were ignored.

What makes the documentary so moving isn't just what happened, but especially how long they weren't listening. Students tried to signal that something was wrong, but their words vanished into a wall of denial. That silence, as the title suggests, proves to be the most devastating of all.

The series' style is understated. No flashy reconstructions, but simple images and calm interviews. It's clear that the creators aren't looking for sensationalism, but for understanding. They create space for grief, shame, and the incomprehension of parents and students who still have questions.

Quiet in Class forces you to look away, to reflect on trust, power, and responsibility. It's not a pleasant series, but it's a necessary one. One that shows what can happen when silence becomes more important than truth.
