For weeks, millions have followed Sweden's live-streamed moose migration, a Slow TV phenomenon broadcast around the clock.

Using 34 cameras along the route, viewers watch the animals move calmly through forests and rivers, with highlights such as crossings in northern Sweden.

The program’s soothing pace offers a contrast to fast-paced digital media and AI content, drawing global audiences and even scientific interest.
