Foreign Films Screening Series

Sami Blood

Join us for a foreign film screening the second Sunday of each month. This month's film is Sami Blood.

This acclaimed film follows 14-year-old Sami girl Elle Marja, who, along with her sister, is torn from her indigenous reindeer-herding family and placed in a government-run boarding school in 1930s Sweden. There Elle dreams of education and a future, but these dreams are hindered when she is met with racial expectations that class her people as inferior. What follows is a girl’s attempt to escape one world of prejudice and another of old traditions, only to realize the true cost of freedom. (NR) 1 hr. 48 min.

Refreshments provided by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County. The discussion that follows is optional.
