Hybrid / Sápmi / 25 min / 2025
A compelling 23-minute docu‑short co-directed by Liselotte Wajstedt and Marja Helander, centered on Niillas Somby, a Sámi man whose journey spans imprisonment, protests, and surreal encounters. Set against the backdrop of indigenous rights and the fight to protect Arctic nature, this powerful film weaves together personal memory, cultural resilience, and political activism. It builds to an urgent and emotional call to safeguard both Sámi heritage and the fragile northern environment.
