THE VIKINGS ARE AMONG THE BEST-KNOWN AND INTRIGUING CHARACTERS IN WORLD HISTORY, BUT THEY ARE ALSO AMONG THE LEAST UNDERSTOOD.  THIS 40 MINUTE LARGE FORMAT DOCUMENTARY FILM PROVIDES A PORTRAIT OF THE VIKINGS, EXPLORING IN-DEPTH THEIR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL IMPACT AS WELL AS THEIR TECHNOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC ACHEIVEMENTS.

THE FILM TAKES US THROUGH THE LANDS THAT THE VIKINGS SETTLED AND EXPLORED, ICELAND, GREENLAND AND NEWFOUNDLAND.  THE PRIMARY SKILL THAT DIFERENTIATED THE VIKINGS FROM OTHER CULTURES IN THE 9^thTHROUGH THE 12^TH CENTURIES WAS SHIPBUILDING.

THE VIKING SHIPS WERE FAST, LIGHT AND MANEUVERABLE, ENABLING THEM TO VENTURE TO LANDS BOTH INLAND AND ACROSS OCEANS THAT WERE BEYOND THE REACH OF OTHER TRAVELERS.
