It's not much different from the 1979 one, I just don't know why the CC compilation includes 1979 in front of the 1970 one, and its approach is more of a rule-based movie compared to 1979, with more frequent interweaving of black and white and color, while the content is slightly interspersed.
This kind of image usually but bit most of the audience, because from the beginning we know that he is dedicated to the Faroese people, it is a pity that Bergman did not try to show such a beautiful island with a kind of super long shot but keep showing the technique. It's a pity that Bergman didn't try to show such a beautiful island in a long shot, but kept on showing the technique. It's still quite difficult for the viewer to face an island so far away from him and to feel the emotions that the movie is about.

Plot summary
Bergman interviews the locals of Fårö in this fascinating documentary. An expression of personal and political solidarity with the fellow inhabitants of his adopted home, the island of Fårö in the Baltic Sea, this documentary investigates the sometimes deleterious effects of the modern world on traditional farming and fishing communities. The young, especially, voice doubts about remaining in such a remote, quiet place.

Cinema Omnivore - Fårö Document (1970) 7.1/10
"To those who are intrigued by the island itself, and want to know more about it before Bergman's name becomes its metonym. Two TV documentaries FÅRÖ DOCUMENT and FÅRÖ DOCUMENT 1979 shot by the auteur himself can suffice them. Both are down-to-earth anthropological reportages on the island, observing its natural landscape, elemental force, the denizen's day-to-day activities, listening to their life experiences and problems, scoping the various areas of husbandry, fishery, history, civics, tourism, future prospects, politics and so on. A close-up examination of butchering a sheep is contrasted later with a munificent amount of footage about the parturition of baby lambs, the adeptness of slaughtering and shearing is eloquently recorded."
