It Gets Better (Det blir bättre)

Posted on April 27, 2011 | 1 comment

“Det blir bättre” is the title of a new Swedish TV series screening on Sunday nights on TV3. The title translates to “It gets better” and has been inspired by the campaign to combat the bullying and abuse of LGBT children after a series of gay teen suicides in the USA.

Each episode of this series focuses on a Swedish celebrity where they talk about their difficult upbringing and how things did indeed get better for them.
The theme song for the series is Peter’s “Räddaren i nöden” and Peter himself will be the subject of the episode to be broadcast on 22 May 2011.

TV3 has a website about the show – http://www.tv3.se/detblirbattre
