the DTV site has this review:


Singer Mari Boine lives way beyond the arctic circle in northern Norway. She belongs to the Sami, an ancient indigenous people who used to be reindeer herding nomads. Because of pressure to assimilate, she was brought up to reject the songs of her people. It was only when she reclaimed her heritage she finally found her real voice as a singer. In her music she blends the traditional Joik singing of the shamans with elements of Jazz and Rock to create emotional and haunting statements. Since Peter Gabriel released her first Album Gula Gula in 1992 Mari Boine has gained an international reputation as one of the leading personalities in World Music. This film follows Mari Boine in her musical journeys, simultaneously tracing her traditional roots and her recent immersion in African musical cultures.
