“In the Land of Meadows” is a forthcoming Viking film based on the Icelandic Vinland Sagas which tells the Norse discovery and brief colonization of North America in the year 1000. The film focuses on the events leading up to the Vikings’ sailing west to Newfoundland, with the main characters being Leifur Eiríkson; who’s been called “discoverer of North America'', as well as his father Erik the Red, his half-sister Freydís, and his brother Thorvald. The second half of the movie, which has yet to to be filmed, examines the conflicts between Viking settlers and the First Nation Peoples in Newfoundland. What will be emphasized most in the film’s storyline is how the indigenous people eventually overthrow their Viking oppressors.
