Le Printemps des Rennes
Directed by Omar Agustoni and Pierre Marc2015 52m
On the tundra of Finnmark, northern Norway, Nils enters his 58th spring migration in the worst conditions. On their way to the coast where they'll spend the summer, his reindeers suffer from the climatic upheaval of the Arctic and the rarefaction of lichen, their food. Through this extreme migration, Nils introduces us to the political obstacles that imperil his lifestyle and his shepherd activity in the far north. Hampered by energy and mining industries, which aim to turn the ancestral territory of the Sami (so-called Lapps) into his new Eldorado, Nils fight for his people, carrying a clear and at times disillusioned point of view on the attitude of the developed countries towards indigenous peoples.
