Icons have appeared during all moments of history. But what really defines an icon? And what happens when they fall from grace?

In episode four of Curious with Micael Dahlen we tell the story of the Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg. At only 16, she has taken the political stage by storm and has now become a modern icon. Today, only one year after her solo strike outside of the Swedish Parliament, thousands of people around the world have joined her Fridays for Future movement for climate action. But how could this unknown girl become one of the most talked about people in the world? Micael sits down with historian Dr. Piers Brandon, an expert on historical icons, to understand Greta’s rise to fame.
