Muorra, 2024
Directed by: Mihkkal Hætta
Muorra is a short film that takes you on a journey through the lands of Sápmi, highlighting the raw power inherent in these areas. The connection between humans and the land has diminished over time, and this film shows that the link between the two is not as distant as one might think.
