About this Event

This documentary follows the journey of Norwegian and Sámi singer Ella Marie. When a mining company threatens the land and water of the Sámis, the artist decides to leave the city to save her homeland. Together with activists, Ella sets out to protect the environment and block mining. Despite all the challenges she faces, Ella refuses to give up her fight. Because every victory for the environment is temporary, but every loss is permanent, Ella’s Riot shows us how far music, love and solidarity can take us.
