SAMI BLOOD

Α declaration of love to those who left and those who stayed in a society at the edge of the world, and an alternative, insider’s story of the colonial past of a “civilized” country, through the eyes of a teenager. Elle Marja, 14, is a reindeer-breading Sámi girl. Exposed to the racism of the 1930s and race biology examinations at her boarding school, she starts dreaming of another life. To achieve this other life she has to become someone else and break all ties with her family and culture.
