About 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.

The series starts in Alta, Finnmark, the most northern county of Norway, where viewers meet Johnny Trasti, a celebrated local chef.

Along with his wife, Johnny runs a restaurant and boutique hotel by the legendary Alta River, one of the most exclusive salmon rivers in the world.
