Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gállok became flashpoint for Sámi land rights protests; this film captures the tension between documented activism and documentary ethics.
The 59-minute runtime is deliberate — feature-length would mythologize; this stays messy, incomplete, like the struggle itself.
