SUMÉ - MUMISITSINERUP NIPAA
SUMÉ - THE SOUND OF A REVOLUTION
Sumé's poetic lyrics spoke not only of the disappearance of Greenland villages, but also of the imminent extinction of an entire culture. Crashing beats and a charismatic lead-man managed to get the message across, laying the groundwork for a national consciousness. Making use of archive material and interviews with contemporary witnesses, artist Inuk Silis Høegh tells a no-frills tale full of spirit and encouragement that furthermore reminds us that the disappearance of a language means much more than the loss of mere words.
