People of the North

PEOPLE OF THE NORTH is a new series that visits spectacular places in Scandinavia. A team of three hosts venture to far-away places in northern Norway and the Faro Islands. Norwegian Arne Hjeltnes takes viewers to these remote places with chef Frida Ronge, known from Swedish television and the award-winning distiller Stig Bareksten. The trio meets up with the people who make a living from gathering, catching, and processing produce from both land and sea.
