SUME - THE SOUND OF A REVOLUTION /
SUME - LYDEN AF EN REVOLUTION
Creative documentary one-off, 76 min., 2014
The Story of Sume is a unique account of the four young students who released Greenland’s very first rock album in 1973. And went on to lead their people’s first uprising against the Danish colonial powers. The film centres on Sume’s two charismatic front men – and the conflicting ambitions that would eventually tear them apart. And it tells a classic coming-of-age story about the world’s biggest island overcoming an even bigger inferiority complex.
The first international feature documentary film from Greenland that deals with the nation’s uprising after 250 years of colonial suppression. Part of the Panorama section at the 65th Berlinale Film festival and winner of the ImagineNATIVE awards for emerging talent and emerging filmmaker in 2014.
