Lapp versus Sami (working title)

IN DEVELOPMENT

When the past is experienced so differently, will it be possible to agree on a common future?

In 1930, A group of northern Sami people were forcibly relocated to South Sami territory in Sweden by the Norwegian and Swedish state. Today, Southern Sami are fighting Northern Sami in court for the right to land, water and reindeer herding.

By meeting those involved, we are taken through what led to this controversy. The story changes according to who tells it. The parties are unable to agree, and the state does not intervene.
