Life of Ivanna
Ivanna, a 26-year-young Nenets mother of five children, lives in the Arctic region of northwest Siberia. She lives a traditional nomadic life, driving her herd of reindeer in the tundra just as her family did for centuries. Due to climate change, a dwindling herd, and many other factors, she may be forced to make a dramatic life turn: to leave the tundra for the city.

Svonni vs the Swedish Tax Agency
In this humorous short doc, a Sámi woman tries to convince the Swedish Tax Agency that she has the right to make a tax deduction for the purchase of a dog. Why don’t they understand that Rikke is a herding tool and not a pet?
