Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy probes under the rosy image Sweden has historically had of a welcoming immigration policy to bring us the true picture of Muslims living in Malmo.
In the words of one Muslim leader, the Muslim community can integrate into the larger community - but will not lose its cultural and religious identity.
Obaid-Chinoy speaks to Barang, an influential 22-year-old rap artist from Rosengard; Malmo's poorest and immigrant-populated district.
Barang feels his highly political lyrics are the best way to express his frustration at feeling excluded from Swedish society.
The hostility felt by some can lead to fierce tension with the police. Obaid-Chinoy encounters confrontation between Swedish officers and defiant Palestinian teenagers in Rosengard.
Despite this, and the district's devastating unemployment rate of 90 per cent in some pockets, the city's residents remain hopeful for change.
