Awards
Herdswoman was awarded with the Documentary Film Prize at the 50th Nordic Film Days in Lübeck. The film has earlier won an Audience Prize and Best Esthetic Award.
The participants
Elisabeth is a woman who stands up for herself in a male-dominated trade. She hunts elk, she slaughters and cuts up the meat. She is the strongwoman, with a headstrongness that makes anything possible as long as you are determined enough.
The film makers
Hans-Olof Utsi, 38 year-old Sami photographer from Mertajärvi in the northernmost part of Lapland. Since 1994 proprietor of Fotograf Hans-Olof Utsi AB in Kiruna.
