Ellos eatnu - La elva leve

This film is about the struggle that we, the Sami people, have had to fight both as a people and as individuals and continue to fight to this day against the state and the racism we often encounter from the Norwegians, even though the film takes place between 1979 and 1982, many of the attitudes still exist in our time. There are some who think that this film is about the Alta River and the building of the Alta Dam, but this is not the case, it is about the Sami's fight for their own rights and the right to exist as a people. The Alta Dam is simply a blanket on which the film is built. Long live the Sami people.
