How it feels

A documentary from 1973 shows life in the Faroe Islands through the eyes of several workers: a trawler fisherman, a factory worker, a fisherman's wife, a coastal fisherman, and a farmer. Most of them express fear and opposition about joining the European Economic Community, fearing their small nation would be lost.

What happens

So er Manna Hugsan er en film instrueret af Rolf Guttesen. I filmen ser man en række billeder fra Færøerne. Vi møder en trawlerfisker, en mand på en fiskefiletfabrik, en kvinde, hvis mand fisker på langfart, en hjemmefisker og en bonde. De føler sig meget utrygge over EF – størsteparten af dem er modstandere. En tidligere fisker slutter med at sige 'I EF ville vi bare være en lille gade i en storby - vi ville forsvinde'.
