Down to the river
When we were about to leave the car at these wild waters near Neiden, they really played this Bruce Springsteen song on the radio. Of course we had different intentions, we did some field recordings for our archive.

Hilde Methi
We met Hilde Methi from the Sámi Art Festival for a coffee right after she came back from picking blueberries in the woods. She told us how the city has changed since the re-opening of the mines, i.e. that a lot of foreign workers are in town and that there are a lot more to come.
