The screening will be followed by a discussion with Greta Stocklassa

What happens to life of the teacher and local activist Timo, the teenage Sami girl Maja, and Abdalrahman, a refugee from Yemen, when a mining town Kiruna, built on the world's largest and most modern iron ore mining tunnel, must be moved 3 kilometres to the east? How does the moving city move people’s lives, identities and ideals? Will the new Kiruna be a better place for a brand new society?
