The American Runestone (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

Really well done and enjoyable documentary on Vikings in the US. Peter Stormare (actor from American Gods, Fargo, Big Lebowski) came from the same county in Sweden as the farmer who discovered the runestone and he decides to go on a journey to find out the history of what happened to his countryman and this stone. Stormare is sincere, comes across as a really nice guy, and local people in the area around where the stone was found open up to him. I love Viking history, they were the first Europeans to North America and I think it is very likely they came to places like Minnesota and not just Newfoundland. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes.
