“In summer 2013 a new area of occupied Sápmi was under attack from the mining industry. If it were not for some brave resisters, the test blasting outside Jokkmokk would have gone by without commotion. The Saami people would have once again been exploited and future generations of Saami would have been poisoned without even a debate. But something happened. This is the story told by the resisters in Gállok. These views are not often televised. This is not an attempt to make an ”objective” film, as if that was possible. This is why we revolt and why you should join the struggle!

It might look like we had a really hard time out there, but most of the time we had fun and were just hanging out in a really nice environment with a lot of nice people around. We got very much support from locals and from people all over the globe! Thank you all participating in any way! Good times!”
