Die NORDKALOTTE

In <i>Die Nordkalotte, </i>Peter Nestler provides a critical view on the industrialization, especially the mining of ore, on the Kola Peninsula, which led to a wide-ranging destruction of forests, lakes and tundra. In addition, the film examines the consequences of industrialization on Lappland's indigenous people. The traditions and understanding of nature of the few thousand reindeer herding Lapps in the remote northern Russian peninsula and in northern Scandinavia are juxtaposed to the modern world after the Industrial Revolution.
