Stefan Jarl (born 18 March 1941) is a Swedish film director best known for his documentaries.

Together with Jan Lindqvist he made the Mods Trilogy, three films which follow a group of alienated people in Stockholm from the 1960s to the 1990s, They Call Us Misfits (1968), A Respectable Life (1979) and The Social Heritage (1993).

[1] Jarl also wrote and directed Jag är din krigare (1997), and directed Terrorists: The Kids They Sentenced (2003), The Girl From Auschwitz (2005), and Submission (2010), a documentary about the "chemical burden" of synthetics and plastics carried by people born after World War II.

My mother worked in the store but was also a “house slave” and took care of me and my brothers.

I had the privilege of growing up in what came to be the “best country in the world” where education, justice, work for all, healthcare and equality had been won.
