LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE is a collaboration between veteran documentarian Håvard Bustnes and Sámi filmmakers Johannes Vang and Kati Eriksen, who serve as co-writers and producers, ensuring the film is grounded in Sámi storytelling and perspective. The film follows Sissel Stormo Holtan and fellow herder Terje Haugen through their decades-long fight to protect ancestral grazing lands in Norway's Fosen region from Europe's largest wind power project. Despite a landmark ruling by Norway's Supreme Court finding the project in violation of Sámi human rights, the turbines remain, and the struggle continues.
