Sámi vs. Sámi

Sámi vs. Sámi is a documentary focusing on a legal dispute between two indigenous Sami groups. The conflict stems from state-mandated forced relocations that occurred over a century ago, when Northern Sami people were moved into Southern Sami lands. In a contemporary courtroom setting, the descendants of these groups struggle to reach an agreement regarding reindeer herding, land rights, and their shared identity. The film explores how historical government actions created lasting divisions that continue to influence the community.

The film was written and directed by Ellen-Astri Lundby and produced by Mette Cheng Munthe-Kaas and Johanna Dorothea Raita. This production was a joint effort between Norway and Sweden, involving companies such as SVT and the Svenska Filminstitutet. Released on February 13, 2026, the documentary has a runtime of 77 minutes and is categorized within the adventure and documentary genres.
