We’re thrilled to announce the release of our newest documentary, THE SAMI SONG OF SURVIVAL: Indigenous Activism on the Northern Frontier, directed by iara lee and edited by Dimo Petkov.

If you would like to watch the film, organize a screening in your community, or show the film at a festival or event, please reach out to us at info@culturesofresistancefilms.com.

The documentary tells the story of the Indigenous Sami people of Northern Europe—who live in a territory spanning parts of today’s Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia—and how they have used artistic resistance and organized protest in their struggle for survival. As they preserve ways of life built around reindeer herding, fishing, and a living tradition of shamanistic religious ritual, while also making space for the vibrant creativity of a new generation that is reinventing past cultural practices, Sami communities are proving that existence is resistance.
