Director Statement

I have yet again dare to make a documentary this time about my heritage or our culture in drumdancing in Greenland. Drumdancing is blooming again in Greenland, in all events you see drum dancing and in some opening ceremonies. In Greenland we are so lucky to have obtain our language through out many years and now the focus shift to other immaterial culture in our society.

it is important that indigenous also make a documentary about their own culture and society with indigenous help and support from the network. If we do not show our own culture - who can?
