The Reindeer Journals(2025)

The Reindeer Journals. Lapland is something else−just one of those heartbreakingly beautiful places. There is a philosophy there called Allemansratten which simply means, we have the right to roam, that everyone shall have access to nature and wilderness, rivers, and oceans. You can climb mountains, pick mushrooms, throw down a bedroll and a tent, swim in stunningly clear lakes, fish, navel gaze the true meaning of life, and ramble to your heart’s content, as long as you are respectful and loving to the earth and others. Amen to that. This film is an ode to friendship and simple living, running wild along rivers and in the Arctic Circle. And the fish, pike, salmon, grayling, and wild trout for miles. These days, the reindeer need our help to keep the earth steady at the helm, so there is plenty to do ahead. We all know that. Here’s to the surreal places waiting for us if we have the heart to go. See you out there.
