Join the Sami Theatre of the Little Sun in an extraordinary performance celebrating 1000 years of Sami history. The Samis, once called Laplanders, are the indigenous culture of Scandinavia. Fantastic music, short dialogues, unique chanting, and weird, wonderful masks create a stunning theatrical performance. Narrated by actress Joanne Woodward, the film depicts the Sami's struggle to keep their language and culture alive, to protect the rich natural resources of the Arctic from destruction, and to establish to land rights of their people. Filmed at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.

"Even if a Hundred Ogres" is part of the "First Peoples' TV" series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
