Gallok: The Battle for Sami Rights in Sweden (2019x3)
Udgivelsesdato: Feb 06, 2019
A community questions its Sami heritage when one of Scandinavia's largest known iron ore deposits is discovered nearby.
Thirty kilometres from the Swedish world heritage site of Laponia, plans to introduce a controversial new iron ore mine in Gallok (also known as Kallak) are under way.
The opinions of the 3,000 people living in the nearby town of Jokkmokk are polarised.
Tor, a father of two, reclaims his Sami surname and joins a group of indigenous and environmental activists to stop British company Beowulf from mining on the ancestral lands of the indigenous Sami people.
