#Hashtag
Although entirely fictitious, the series gets its inspiration from the Instagram riots that took place in Gothenburg in 2012, whereby an anonymous Instagram account ended up having dramatic consequences for its creators (two young girls were sentenced) and for the victims, creating at the same time riots across the city.
