Det som aldrig fick ske är en djuplodande skildring av skolattentatet i Trollhättan den 22 oktober 2015. Där är gärningsmannen och hans familj, utanförskapet och det riktade hatet. Där är de poliser som först anlände till platsen, som berättar om sitt agerande och om den tid som följde på dådet. Och där är berättelsen om tre familjer som förlorade en nära familjemedlem i ett land dit de kommit för att fly undan våld och förtryck. Åsa Erlandsson visar hur Sverige håller på att förändras och om hur rasism, utanförskap och psykisk ohälsa kan få ödesdigra konsekvenser.

Hon har gjort research till Uppdrag granskning, blivit nominerad till Guldspaden och har arbetat på Aftonbladet, Metro och Dagens Nyheter.
