Swedish-Sami director Amanda Kernell’s debut feature looks into what happens if you cut all ties with your culture and history, asking the question: Can you really become someone else?
”A moving, classically rendered coming-of-age tale set against the scarring social prejudices of the 1930s’, SAMEBLOD ‘robustly blends adolescent fears that resonate across borders and generations with a fascinatingly speci c, rarely depicted cultural context: Sweden’s colonial oppression of the indigenous Sami folk.’ – Variety
