For Our Rights
A documentary by Johannes Vang
Mer enn bare fjell
The Supreme Court ruled that the Norwegian government was breaking the Sámi people's human rights, but the government did not care. Young activists feel forced to stand up and fight for their rights, culture and identity.
The film follows the two Sámi activists Elle Rávdná Näkkäläjärvi and Maajja-Krihke Bransjfell in their daily life, and through demonstrations in the Norwegian Parliament and a following court case.
