WG Film information


WG Film (former Westman & Gertten AB) is a Swedish production company that produces national and international documentaries. The company is located in Malmö and was founded in 1994 by documentary filmmaker Lars Westman and journalist Fredrik Gertten.

WG Film produces documentaries for broadcast and cinema. The early films of the company were often local stories with global relevance. With time, the films have become more and more international. Most notable films include PUSH (2019) about the global housing crisis,[1] Bikes vs Cars (2015) on cycling and the car industry's control over city planning,[2] Bananas!* (2009) on a conflict between the Dole Food Company and banana plantation workers in Nicaragua[3] as well as its sequel Big Boys Gone Bananas!* (2012) on Dole Food's lawsuit against Gertten, WG Film and the films' producer Margarete Jangård.[4]

The latest film produced by WG Film BREAKING SOCIAL (2023) explores global patterns of corruption and kleptocracy. The social contract theory is a central theme in the film and how this contract has been broken by the ultra rich and the powerful is examined, but also how a new social contract can be made. The film premiered at CPH:DOX in March 2023.[5]

WG Film's movies have been shown at festivals such as Sundance Film Festival,[6] South by Southwest[7] and International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.[8][9]
