There is a lot of talk of crisis and apocalypse, due to war, to climate change. Young people worried about their future go on school strike and manifest, around the world. But, when the climate or any other crisis happens, how are these young (and adult) protesters prepared to fend for themselves? How long can you survive without electricity and water in the tap, with access to food in the supermarket? Thinking about all of this, 16 year old Hampus Andersson decided to try to live off the lands and waters for a full month, on his own. If there is such a crisis, would he make it on his own? From mid July to mid August 2019, the experiment went on. He made sure to learn from more experienced and older reindeer herders and others with experience from the forests. Hampus is not completely unaware on how to get access to food in the forest. His father is a Sámi reindeer herder, and his mother’s family are an agriculture family. But until this day he had never done such an experiment. How would he find food, water, shelter? What would be the hardest? Some things that he had never even thought about turned out to be harder than expected. During the stay Hampus documented his everyday life with photos and short films, and posted on his Facebook page and Instagram. This is a film made from those photos and videos, along with an interview by film maker Petri Storlöpare, Slowfilm AB. Hampus speaks of his experiences, thoughts and ideas on how to continue this experiment. Will he try the same in the Arctic winter, with temperatures down to minus 40 Celsius?

Associate Professor Eva Charlotta Helsdotter, Uppsala University, tells about how the analysis of windpower is not taking into account all relevant aspects in terms of fossil dependency and environmental consequences. A large part of what is needed to establish, maintain, as well as decommission windpower is never taken into account within the so called LCA analyses. This is what makes it possibly to – falsely – claim that windpower is green. However, the windpower designs of today cannot be considered green, nor fossil free. The area in question is one out of two project areas for windpower within Gällivare Forest Sámi village - “Storlandet”, which is the ancestral grounds of Henrik Andersson’s family. Work is currently ongoing with an environmental impact study, planned to be ready for submission in 2022. The other wind power industry area that is planned within the area for the Gällivare Forest Sámi Village is Hällberget, conducted by a private power company Vasavind, owned by the Dutch pension fund APG. In early 2021 it received permission to go ahead with a smaller part of its project. The Hällberget project is currently (August 2021) in court process. The Swedish state, the European Union (EU), as well as actors within the energy market, environmental organizations and climate activists all insist in the promotion of windpower as “green”, fossil free and thereby environmentally friendly. A large part of these constructions are planned for in Sámi territories, on land that has been taken from Sámi during late 19th and early 20th century. Furthermore, the wind power industrial areas have major negative impacts for the local environment. Forests are clear cut and replaced with 100 – 300 meters high steel constructions, on massive foundations made of concrete. Construction and maintenance demands new mines, car and truck access roads and thereby new stone quarries causing major wounds in the landscape. These industrial areas have major negative consequence for the local environment, fresh water, nature, wild life, local inhabitants as well as reindeer herding. This film is part of a supradisciplinary research and documentary project on (un)sustainable power production, researching and documenting the subject matter from Indigenous Sámi reindeer herding point of view, along with analyses of the whole windpower industry. Henrik Andersson, Gällivare Forest Sámi Village, who works to protect - through research and challenging decision makers - the reindeer and other animals from a destructive power production mode along with the Sámi traditional culture in the area is at the front. The Sámi reindeer herding culture is documented to having lived and prospered here since at least two millennia. What can EU, Sweden and EU member countries learn from the knowledges and understandings of the Sámi reindeer herders? What is needed to make their voices heard and turned into policy making in Sweden and in the EU? Filmed from September 2020, to August 2021. Sequences from the film “The Last Generation?” Storlöpare 2016 – reindeer feeding - and by the fire. The film is part of the research project: ”Safe and Sustainable Energy Futures in Sápmi” FORMAS dnr 2016-01039, and two projects within the Swedish National Programme on Climate: ”Dálkke: Indigenous climate change studies” FORMAS dnr 2017-01923 and ”Living without oil?! Rethinking relations with lands and waters with Indigenous Land Based Expertise for a transition towards a fossil free welfare society” FORMAS Dnr 2019-01975.

Produced by Petri Storlöpare, Slowlife film, in collaboration with Henrik Andersson and May-Britt Öhman. 2019. 3 min 16 sec Funding for the documentary was provided by the research projects FORMAS future research leaders project Safe and sustainable energy futures in Sápmi FORMAS Dnr 2016-01039; Indigenous Climate Change Studies, FORMAS Dnr 2017-01923, within the Swedish National research programme on climate, both led by Dr May-Britt Öhman, Uppsala University. What is genocide according to the United Nations? This is it: Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide Article II In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: - Killing members of the group; -Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; -Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; -Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; -Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Vad är folkmord enligt Förenta Nationerna? "År 1948 upprättades genom FN:s försorg en konvention om förebyggande och bestraffning av brottet folkmord (genocide). I artikel II definieras som folkmord vissa uppräknade gärningar under förutsättning att de förövats i avsikt att helt eller delvis förinta en nationell, etnisk, rasmässigt bestämd eller religiös grupp som sådan. Gärningarna som räknas upp i konventionen är: Att döda medlemmar av gruppen Att tillfoga medlemmar av gruppen svår kroppslig eller själslig skada Att uppsåtligen påtvinga gruppen levnadsvillkor som är avsedda att medföra dess fysiska undergång Att genomföra åtgärder som är avsedda att förhindra barnafödande inom gruppen Att med våld överföra barn från gruppen till annan grupp. Folkmordskonventionen är en del av folkrätten. Förbudet mot folkmord anses förpliktiga även stater som inte ratificerat konventionen.https://media.medfarm.uu.se/play/video/14964Thu, 31 Mar 2022 13:30:34 +0000
