Baltic Tribes (2018)
8/10
Historical review
23 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
To attest to some reviews this isn't a movie of fantasy for your enjoyment! It's a depiction of the single account of the Baltic tribes from a merchant spy depicted within a primary source document called, "Liburcenses Dani." The accuracy of the document and biases are analyzed by a robotic voice but are necessary to understand the context of the film, and the account of the merchant Lars whose Christian biases are clearly stated to allow the viewer to determine their own value of the information. Missing are lots of information about the Pagan gods of Perun and Dievas along with the rest of the pantheon, however that would not have been known or understood by a Christian merchant either. It must be understood that this documentary uses the only information available without adding fantasy or other primary and secondary source information, and should be commended! Could more money be used to narrate in English, perhaps, yet the content is valuable and fairly unknown information! Brava!
