Beneath the Surface

A Storyville documentary looking at the systemic, race-based abuse of the indigenous SΓ΅mi people in Norway, which was exposed in 2014 by journalists following a tip-off.

In 2014, following a tip-off, a group of journalists exposed a troubled history for indigenous SΓ΅mi women, men and children in Norway. It revealed generations of negligence, abuse and suffering, supported by a mass of evidence and previously unseen archival footage.

As the case goes to court, the community remains defiant against a judicial system whose attitudes highlight fissures in the purported equal treatment of all citizens. The community’s battle aims to break a vicious cycle of racism and to achieve meaningful, lasting change for future generations.
