Maj Doris is a documentary that follows the life of 74-year-old Sámi woman Maj Doris Rimpi. Two decades ago, she led a life filled with global travels and diverse experiences. Currently, she resides alone on a farm above the Arctic Circle in Sweden, managing reindeer and pursuing her passions as an artist, painter, and actress—most notably recognized for her role in Sámi Blood (2016). The film delves into the challenges she faces, especially during harsh winters, and explores themes of resilience, cultural identity, and the intersection of traditional lifestyles with modernity.
