Vikings: The Rise and Fall

45 mins documentary for Nat Geo

For more than 300 years, Vikings waged war from the seas - leaving destruction and bloodshed in their wake.

The Norsemen became the most feared people in history - an unstoppable force that brought about the far-reaching growth of a Viking Empire, sprawling across Europe and beyond.

However, their story has always been told from a one-sided, Christian point of view. Only now, after the rigorous research of mythical sagas and cutting edge bioarchaeological finds, can we uncover the truth about who the Vikings really were.

Alexander edited episode 2 - focusing upon the Great Heathen Army’s Siege of York in 866.

Nominated for Best Educational and Informational Program at Daytime Emmy Awards 2023.
