SAMI BLOOD is the debut feature from writer/director Amanda Kernell, who based their beautifully rendered film from her own grandmother's life. Set in 1930s Sweden during the pre-Nazi Eugenics movement, SAMI BLOOD follows Elle, a young indigenous Lapland girl made to feel like an inferior species when she’s subjected to indoctrination and race biology in a Swedish boarding school. Elle escapes, and in doing so is estranged from her sister, her family and her culture. SAMI BLOOD is a unique and intimate perspective on the history of the Sami people, and tells a story of oppression that resonates across borders and generations. The film features a breakthrough performance from its young lead actress Lene Cecilia Sparrok, who has never acted before and is Sami herself.  She stars in the film alongside her sister Mia Sparrok. Director and writer Amanda Kernell joins us to talk about her heart wrenching story of a young woman struggling to find a place in an increasingly hostile world.90% on RottenTomatoesFor news and updates go to: sami-blood.synergetic.tv facebook.com/sameblodLos Angeles Screening: Beginning June 30, 2017 at the Laemmle Monica Film Center
