Sámi vs. Sámi (2026)
Synopsis
A unique legal battle between indigenous peoples unfolds on film: Two Sami groups face each other in court, locked in an insoluble conflict that has its roots in the state's forced displacements over a hundred years ago. How can one agree on a future when the past is lived so differently? Over a hundred years ago, the state forced Northern Sami to move into Southern Sami territory. Today, their descendants are fighting in court for land, reindeer herding, and the right to be Sami. The film shows how state actions continue to divide a people, and how the past continues to shape their future.
