Lively and empathetic. Powerful in cause and historical depiction. Exposing "Norwegianisation" can be a tricky thing to bring up in the discourse of your own country, but the responses to the film are telling. As the film warns us, the fights of the Sámi do not go unrecognised, but they are far from over.
