The Silence in Sápmi

The Silence in Sápmi is a documentary film that deals with taboos that have weighed down on indigenous women for generations. Sexual abuse is not only an indigenous phenomenon, it is universal and concerns all of us. Silence is a survival strategy for many, either when it comes to coping with the unimaginable committed, or for those who are in the same community as both victim and perpetrator. But the young women in this film – Marion and Ida – with their own personal stories of surviving sexual abuse, are not to be silenced anymore. (Tromsø International Film Festival)
