Homecoming

The emotional consequences of being deprived of belongings, important cultural and spiritual symbols, and even the remains of their ancestors are profound and far-reaching. In the world of museums, debates about cultural diversity, truth, and reconciliation are sparking much-needed change. The Finnish National Museum's Sámi collection of thousands of Sámi artifacts is on its way back to Sápmi, but the sacred drums remain stuck in museums across Europe.

In this personal documentary, the filmmakers seek a connection with their ancestors through the ancient museum objects, ultimately reaching the collective pain points of the Sámi people. They aim to confront this pain and break the external portrayal of the Sámi, not only for themselves but for the Sámi people and the larger society.
