The Bohus coast - a grumpy paradise

"Bohuskust - ett vresigt paradis" is a documentary film of about 58 minutes intended for SVT about the nature, animal and plant life of the Bohus coast during four seasons experienced through the eyes of a kayaker, but also about the coastal landscape's change, ecology and environmental threats. The Bohus coast with its bare, well-sculpted islands is a unique archipelago not found anywhere else. For two months each summer, it is a vacation paradise with extensive boating. The rest of the year, the same area presents itself as an almost unpopulated wilderness. A wealth of rock carvings and Bronze Age graves, as well as remnants from quarries and different herring periods, testify to an exciting history, which in turn is the direct reason why the coastal country looks the way it does. Apart from a few special programs on fishing, archipelago communities and underwater life, there has never been a more comprehensive film produced about the Bohusland nature. In 2013, the Bohus coast was named the seventh most beautiful wilderness area in the world by the American broadcaster CNN. The common thread in the nature documentary is the changing seasons seen through the eyes and reflections of a kayaker. In addition to facts and scientific findings, the personal narrative will allow for thoughts and philosophical speculations about animals and nature that can be both thought-provoking and lead to new insights. Scientists, fishermen, aquaculturists and others in close contact with the nature of Bohuslän will participate.
