The Sami Song of Survival: Indigenous Activism on the Northern Frontier

Directed by Iara Lee

With Áilu Valle, Ánde Somby, Anders Sunna, Andrey Ageev and Andrei Danilov

The Sami people, mainly found in Russia and Lapland, continue their struggle against oppression and colonialism. For centuries, they have faced institutionalized racism, marginalization, and repression of their culture and language. Through activism, they have gained recognition and respect in recent years, but the struggle is not over. Through art and cultural resilience, the Sami assert their rights to exist and thrive in their ancestral lands.
