Sami Blood
Directed by Amanda Kernell
Produced by Bautafilm, Digipilot
A haunting coming-of-age drama about a Sami girl forced to choose between her indigenous identity and survival in a racist society, told with quiet intensity and deep melancholy.
Elle Marja, 14, is a reindeer-breeding Sami girl. Exposed to the racism of the 1930s and phrenological examinations at her boarding school, she starts dreaming of another life. To achieve this other life she has to become someone else and break all ties with her family and culture.
