Journeyman.TV has made a number of excellent documentaries available. "The Only Image of My Father" is a compelling, personal journey of a woman into her Så¡mi roots.

Monika has never met her father. She knows only that his face was once on a Swedish stamp and that he was a Sami reindeer man, an indigenous Scandinavian. But who was her father? Why was he put on a stamp? And is he still alive? After decades of ignorance, she decides to track him down. Her journey is an emotional one, shedding light on a shameful aspect of Sweden's past. In searching for her father, she ends up finding herself. A classic, personal documentary.

The teaser below is about 10 minutes long. The documentary itself is 58 minutes long and the entire film can be viewed at http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=2056
