Jon, the Sami

This documentary follows Jon, a Sami reindeer herder in northern Scandinavia above the Arctic Circle, as he balances ancestral tradition with the pull of the modern world. Set amid the majestic mountains of Sarek, it captures a way of life shaped by the herd, the seasons and the search for equilibrium. The film lets the landscape and Jon's quiet rhythm carry the story. It is a contemplative, beautiful portrait of Sami life in the far north. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
