The new documentary “Folktales” is centered around the Pasvik Folk High school in Northern Norway, where teenagers take a “gap year” to disconnect from technology and learn how to dog sled and survive in the Arctic wilderness.

Host Anthony Brooks speaks with the co-directors, Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady.
