Bosse Lindquist (born 1954) is a Swedish-born documentary director and writer. Among Lindquist's internationally acclaimed films are WikiRebels, which was the first documentary about the controversial "radical transparency" platform WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange; the docu-series The Experiments, the docuseries that broke the story exposing the so-called “pioneer” of regenerative medicine, Paolo Macchiarini, as a murderous fraud whose serial medical malpractice was concealed by elite medical institutions; and Give Us the Money, a film that examines the real-world impact of rock stars Bono and Bob Geldof’s high-profile, decades-long crusade against poverty, famine, and AIDS in Africa that launched with the 1985 Live Aid concert.
Lindquist’s documentaries and docuseries have aired on many television/streaming outlets around the world (including Arte and the BBC), and won numerous awards, including three Prix Europa, and a Peabody Award.
While mainly working independently, Lindquist served as head of Sweden’s national radio documentary department (2007-2009).
Lindquist is also a fiction and non-fiction writer, and most recently published an investigative essay into the lives of the internationally controversial triad of the Myrdal family - Alva, Gunnar and their son Jan.
