Life in Lapland, Finland

This 1938 film portrays the harsh winter life of the Sámi (Lapps) in Finnish Lapland, focusing on their reindeer herding traditions. It captures herds moving to better pastures, corralling for slaughter, and the commercial use of reindeer parts—meat, hides, and antlers. Highlighting their meager existence, it also explores Sámi customs and sparse school settings, offering a stark yet intimate view of survival and culture in the Arctic north before modern changes.
