The mini-doc is Visiting the trout in River Oxara.
Johannes Sturlaugsson, the biologist, visits the brown trout in river Oxara in Thingvellir National Park once again during spawning. Johannes has been studying the brown trout annually in the Lake Thingvallavatn system since 1999 and has been giving educational walks called the Trout walk (ice. urriðagangan) for over two decades. Due to COVID-19, Johannes decided to do the annual Trout walk for 2020 in a mini-doc form.

A television interview where I discuss my book on the historical roles of female vagrants and hermits within the context of Icelandic rural society. In the interview I talk about the women´s profound interconnection with the animal kingdom, which shaped their experiences and lifestyles. Additionally, I explored the theme of women’s autonomy in natural landscapes by analyzing the lives of women who inhabited the Icelandic wilderness, shedding light on their unique adaptations and interactions with the environment. – See
