Reactions from the audience

I just want to say that the film is absolutely beautiful and you have made your parents immortal. You come from a beautiful place and I would love to see it sometime.

- Mark Somervail

Songs of Earth is an absolute magnificent masterpiece. So powerful, intensely rich, yet the message is simple - to remember our first love, Nature. Margreth, for me, has excelled in her knowledge and understanding of Mother Earth. For me, she is the Norwegian version of David Attenborough. Please would you convey my congratulations to Margreth and her team who have so successfully created such a gentle, thought-provoking documentary film of such beauty. Norway is on my list of countries to visit one day. Thank you, dear Margreth.
