Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
In the year of 754 AD, during a time of epic battles and bloodshed, the legend of the pagan warrior king, Redbad, is born, but so is a new weapon against his people: Christianity. Redbad must ultimately unite a Viking army powerful enough to defeat the seemingly invincible Franks.
"In times of successes like 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings', medieval movies are in fashion. 'Redbad' takes place in present-day Netherlands, about the invasions of the old Frisian kingdom by the Franks, still at the beginning of Dutch identity. With beautiful scenes and an excellent reconstruction of the 8th century, the feature film delivers action and history in the right measures. Perfect for those who want to learn about aspects of European history that are rarely addressed in educational books."
