What it’s about. WANTED is based on the archival materials of the Uppsala Institute for racial biology (Uppsala University, Sweden).

The subject matter is indeed a timely one, nowadays masked behind the cover of technology as it is. Does modern genetic manipulation justify the previous century’s racial research? Wanted was one of the five nominees for the European Short Film Academy Award 1999.
