Sámi Television Series “Oro Jaska” Makes Emmy History

A groundbreaking TV series from Norway with an all-Indigenous writers’ room made history with the first-ever Emmy nomination for a Sámi-language show. The series explores difficult, often taboo subjects—while centering Sámi life as a lived reality, not a stereotype. In this interview, filmmaker Silje Burgin-Borch discusses the show’s impact, its community reception, and why Sámi stories matter across Norway, Finland, Sweden, and beyond.
