A bit late here, but Lars Mikkelsen won the 2018 International Emmy Best Performance by an Actor award for his performance in the 'Herrens veje' (Ride upon the storm) TV series : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/46th_International_Emmy_Awards#Best_Performance_by_an_Actor DR1 (the Danish equivalent to BBC1) are know for their top quality TV series, documentaries, political satire and debates and such, but I also need to mention TV2 Danmark, which is kind of a "hybrid" only partly being public-service funded by the government mandated television license fees and partly being commercial broadcasting and politically also slightly more to the "right", though Danish media is quite "old school" in the sense that they focus more on a free and open honest debate culture and so there is no real genuine "right or left-wing" media in Denmark, if we are to compare with the political correctness and horrendous "one eyed" political media bias in the UK, Sweden or that you have in the US : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4Oi-RWXAAAgLWN.jpg But to return to what I was really going to say, then I'll praise the latest Lykke-Per (A Fortunate Man) Mini TV series from 2018 based on a novel by Danish Nobel Prize–winning author Henrik Pontoppidan published between 1898 and 1904 and directed by Bille August, mainly known for 'Pelle the Conqueror' that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and 'The House of the Spirits', based on the famous novel written by Isabel Allende and starring Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep and Winona Ryder ...not to forget being the director of some of the episodes of 'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles' TV series ... ... and the more modest mini TV series 'Håbet' (Finding Home) from 2018 which also has also not yet been translated and sold to the English speaking parts of the World,, so this trailer also has no English subtitles ... as of yet .
which country do you guys feel does a better job of integrating foreigners or folks of a foreign ancestry? Like which showcases it more in the media
I guess it depends on who you ask and what you are looking for . Statistics Norway have some stats on the subject . And while Norway and Denmark do statistics on the subject , Sweden do not. So it is a bit difficult to compare. https://www.ssb.no/befolkning/artikler-og-publikasjoner/innvandrere-i-norge-sverige-og-danmark Education and work is a key to integration in my eyes. Text fom the report: There is a high dropout in high school throughout Scandinavia In all the Scandinavian countries, there is a much higher proportion of boys than girls who do not complete upper secondary school within five years . The proportion that falls away is far higher among immigrants than in "the rest of the population", while the proportion for domestic-born with immigrant parents is somewhere in the middle. There are two exceptions to this general context in particular. The shares that do not complete high school are lower in Sweden than in the other Scandinavian countries, especially among boys. Among domestic-born girls with immigrant parents, the proportion who do not complete is lowest in Norway, and it is on par with the rest of the population. The Swedish authorities and Statistics Sweden publish poorly information on foreign-born labor and education participation distributed on the country of origin. There, the numbers are rather distributed among regions. Therefore, the country of origin is only available for Denmark and Norway in this comparative analysis. Researchers, on the other hand, gain access to such Swedish data for analyzes. Bevelander et al. (2013) have calculated their own figures for Sweden, and there are differences where as far along the way we coincide with the picture we give here for Denmark and Norway. For example, the drop-out rate from high school is among those who have a background from Somalia, particularly high in Denmark and Norway . These are interesting common features. However, among those with a background from Turkey and Iraq, the dropout rate is much higher in Norway than in Denmark. Why the groups from Turkey and Iraq stand out this way is not easy to say, but the pattern in Norway coincides with several of the findings in the living conditions survey among immigrants (Blom and Henriksen 2008 and Henriksen 2010). In Denmark, there is little difference between immigrants and other groups. There is thus a much larger share that participates in higher education in Denmark, than the average for everyone in Sweden. In Norway, on the other hand, there are large differences between the groups, and close to twice as high a proportion who participate in higher education among domestic-born with immigrant parents than among immigrants. One important common feature in the Scandinavian countries is that domestic-born with immigrant parents participate in higher education to a greater extent than the other groups, and, as we have seen, this applies particularly in Norway. Denmark has relatively few immigrants and few newcomers, which may be one of the reasons why the proportion in higher education is larger there. Immigrants from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Pakistan and Vietnam, that are, on average, relatively long-term groups in Scandinavia, participate in higher education to a higher degree than those from Turkey, Poland, Iraq and Somalia ) . The fact that participation is lower among newly arrived refugees or labor immigrants is not surprising, but it is interesting that it is so much higher in Denmark than in Norway. This may be due to stricter immigration policies in Denmark, and that some refugees who failed the "requirements" have left the country Employment increases with residence time in Sweden In a period of good finances and a great need for labor, many immigrants have come to Norway to work. The employment rate for newcomers is therefore higher in Norway than in Denmark and Sweden (see Figure 9). While the proportion of employed persons stagnates after four to seven years of residence and then falls weakly in Norway and Denmark, it rises sharply with residence time in Sweden, so that those who have lived in Sweden or in Norway longer than 15 years participate in the labor market to the same extent. The pattern also applies to immigrant women and men from Asia, Africa and Latin America in Norway and Sweden. This is a significant difference between the Scandinavian countries. According to MIPEX (Migrant Integration Policy Index III), an index comparing integration policy in 24 European countries (British Council 2011), Sweden has the best policy for inclusion of immigrants in the labor market, despite the lower employment we see , especially the first few years after immigration We have seen that many immigrants, especially boys, do not complete high school in Scandinavia. Some take up the studies later, others start working. But some are outside. Norway has the lowest share that is neither in work nor in education regardless of immigration background, in Scandinavia in the age group 18-24 years (see Figure 10). This is partly due to the good economy and the high level of employment in Norway in recent years. In Sweden, there is a somewhat higher proportion that is outside the vocational and educational life, but relatively to the rest of the population immigrants make it somewhat better there than in the other Scandinavian countries in 2010. Denmark has the highest proportion of immigrants who are outside vocational and educational life. This is especially true for girls (see also Olsen 2012). This difference between Norway and Denmark applies to all the countries of origin in this analysis, with the exception of Somalia (see Figure 11). Girls from Somalia are to a greater extent outside work and education in Norway than in Denmark. This may have to do with the considerable emigration among Somalis from Denmark
