Banned books in Sweden and the US

And what can you do yourself to stand up for the freedom to read? Kerstin Almegård, president of Swedish PEN, speaks to Betsy Gomez, coordinator at Banned Books Week in the US, Hanna Nordell, managing director at Swedish PEN and Jens Zingmark, librarian at the Dawit Isaak Library.
