“It is a remarkable day when a Sámi-language film premieres on Netflix, reaching potentially 260 million viewers worldwide. Stolen presents a contemporary important narrative, and we are thrilled that audiences will have the opportunity to experience this important Sámi film, says Anne Lajla Utsi, Managing director of the International Sami Film Institute.The release of the First Sámi Feature Film on Netflix means a lot to the Sámi film industry. With many Sámi actors as main characters, using the Sámi language, and many Sámi filmmakers playing a central role in the film, it warms my film-loving heart.”
