DVD Reviews
I was not prepared for how beautiful and
interesting this is. I thought it would be more about the
Vikings; instead, it's about the wildlife that was
around back in their times. They use video of animals that
exist now, as well as dramatic re-creations. There's a lot
of beautiful footage of Norway, Canada and other places.
The video tells a story about how the Vikings treated
the animals… Everything from birds, to fish, to deer. It
might remind you of how the Native Americans treated the
animals.
The film is beautiful and narrated by actor
Ewan Macgregor. Everyone should enjoy it. I think it would
make a great gift.

WILD WAY OF THE VIKINGS
Narrated by Golden Globe Award-winner
Ewan McGregor, viewers experience the natural world through
the eyes of the Vikings, when nature meets history in a
journey showcasing the wildlife of the North Atlantic.
Combining blue-chip natural history filmmaking and dramatic
recreations, NATURE travels from Norway to Newfoundland,
just as the seafaring warriors did in 1,000 A.D., to get a
glimpse of the Vikings’ world in the Americas hundreds of
years before Columbus. Audiences will witness the deep
history and cultural respect the Vikings had for the land
and sea, from the puffins and otters of the Scottish coast
to the vast herds of reindeer in Norway to the eider duck
farms of Iceland. Viewers discover how the Vikings practiced
the true spirit of the Wild Way of the Vikings: take
everything that you need from nature, but value it for as
long as you can.
