I enjoyed this documentary!
mattiaskonigsson13 November 2000
This is the second part of the "Mods"-trilogy and also the most tragic one. This is a time document from the welfare state Sweden. Everybody should see this movie/documentary, it makes you think about yourself and of those less fortunate. The young people from the first film have now grown up, but their need for alcohol and drugs has not disappeared.

See the whole triology
peterclash10 October 2001
This movie is the third in a triology by Stefan Jarl, often called the Mods-triology. That title could be misunderstood because the films doesn't follow mods just swedish teenage drugrebels in the 60's. This last film summons Jarls work and shows that he has been developing himself as an documentary filmer. Jarl is often in picture and he tells us that the filming of this three films has been complicated even in moral ways. It starts with an answer machine message from late "Stoffes" widow, telling Jarl she hate him and that there will not be a third movie. Later in the film we can see when Jarl is about to meet "Stoffes" child. I will not tell you if he does. Det Sociala Arvet follows "Stoffes" best friend "Kenta" (the two of them are the main characters in the first film) and how he tries to knock of the booze and moving to a little village in nowhere called Hallabro. We can also hear the people from the earlier films make comments on what they said then, the first film is from the 60's the second from the 70's. If you see the whole triology you will be aware that you have seen the best documentary ever made about social underclass.

The last in the Mods trilogy!!!!
anton-620 November 2001
This is what I think of the three films: "They call us Mods"-Great"A decent life"-a masterpiece"Generation to Generation"-Interesting.I think that you should show this films in schools.This film is by far perfect,it shows a few unnecessary scenes and the last minutes of the film is pretty bad.The first two films are better then this but it´s interesting because it´s about what happened to Kenta´s child Patrick.You can see what happened here.You will also get to see a few persons from the first two films.The Mods trilogy is a important piece of film history.4/5
