Adaptation

Vuogáiduvvan follows a Sámi reindeer herder in the far north of Sápmi, facing the rapidly changing climate and the disappearance of conditions that have sustained reindeer herding for generations. The film shows what happens when snow turns to rain, when rain turns to ice, and when ancient knowledge meets new challenges that cannot be solved the old way. It tells the story of a culture deeply connected to the land, now struggling to hold on. Through one herder's experience, the film explores the deep uncertainty that climate change brings not only to animals and nature, but to identity, memory, and livelihood.
