Fahlström’s radical feature film Du gamla du fria (Provocation) is a political work which portrays a group of young activists as they perform happenings outside factories and banks in protest against a corrupt system. After finding their demonstrations are ultimately ineffective, they discover that they too are bourgeois individualists at heart.
