Future Mountains – very very interesting and delicate movie from Makers Only that totally goes under category – “Must see”. Arctic Sweden – homeland of magnificent nature. Homeland of many wild species. A place where you can drink water from the creek. Mesmerizing beauty all around you. High sky and whispering wind… It’s a homeland of sami. A homeland of nomadic reindeers. In these cold and extremely beautiful lands they all together lived in subtle balance for hundreds of years. But now the balance is broken. Climate is changing and it’s threat in far arctic is more than obvious. Fast changing environmental effects wild nature and people who live surrounded by it. Something has to be done. Modern science collaborating with indigenous people are trying to make these changes. Because this kind of beauty must be saved. And today made decisions lead to more sustainable future. Together with scientist Ninis Rosqvist, sami people and all this magnificent beauty we invite you to the magic journey.
From the filmmakers:
Changes in climate and land use, such as mining and infrastructure developments, strongly affect the mountain environment in Arctic Sweden and thereby also the conditions for reindeer husbandry.
In this film we show how scientists and indigenous people work together to gather new knowledge that is needed to make decisions in favor of a sustainable future. Future Mountains.
