LUX FILM DAYS

SAMEBLOD (SAMI BLOOD)

Recommended. On the one hand a harrowing account of a girl growing up treated like an animal, especially at a medical examination, and treated like an outcast when she plucks up courage to move to Uppsala. Swedes comment about the Sami: "They've got resources" but we see that completely different ones than in the Swedish society. The worlds don't match. She also loses her boyfriend as a result of a class divide. The movie's powerful but disturbing.
