This is an indispensable area for the Sámi, indigenous peoples living across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The company Nussir ASA describes themselves as a “pioneer in the climate context”; the rationale for this being that the world needs copper and minerals to change from oil and gas to green energy. Capitalist system tries selling itself as a solution to the problem that it creates.
By utilising a patchwork of imagery, sound and graphics, this film lingers between the feelings of hope, fear and worry for the future. The film travels seamlessly between a protest camp in northern Norway, a classroom, herds of reindeer, oil platforms, and a bedroom. Through its interrogative tone, it raises serious questions by documenting a generational sense of worry; of the uncertainty of times to come.
Film's length: 18:30
