ELLOS EATNU – LET THE RIVER FLOW
Ester moves to Alta in the autumn of 1979 and starts her first job as a substitute teacher. To fit in at the college, she keeps her Sami background hidden. Ester's cousin is a Sami activist and participates in the demonstrations against the planned hydroelectric power plant in the Alta river. When Ester joins the protest camp, her awakening and journey out of shame begins. She throws herself into a conflict-filled battle for the preservation of the river and for the right to be herself.
