One World - Finland

Finland is an amazing and surprising land of contrasts: spectacular natural landscapes and a progressive, super hi-tech society. The Finns are known for having invented the sauna, a national obsession with tango, and their unusual success in producing world-class architects and musicians.

This country portrait for the PBS One World series reveals Finland’s rich culture, history and beautiful scenery, and features interviews with a variety of well-known Finns, including The Leningrad Cowboys, Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila.
