The film shows beautiful environments, and the actors are really good.
But is far too one-sided and when it comes to the truth content, it is quite frankly just a lot of lies.
In the real life, those who took part in the uprising were religious fanatics (their leaders said, among other things, that they would kill anyone who did not want to follow their faith). They kidnapped other Sami whom they forced to participate, abused and whipped women, etc. But that never happens in this movie, .
The priest Stockfleth, who in reality worked a lot for democracy in the area and the Sami written language, portrays him as an evil demonic sadist.
It's bizarre that Gaup is trying to portray religious fanatics as heroes (like kidnapping and whipping women and children). But Gaup is too busy with his identity politics in his eagerness to portray these people as heroes that he is straight up lying.
Gaup should be ashamed of himself.
