Ten films in which Magnus Magnusson explores the Viking world.

"I have seen the Rus as they came on their merchants' journeys and encamped on the Volga. I have never seen more perfect specimens, tall as date palms, blonde and ruddy." (Ibn Fadlan, 922)
Silver coins from Arabia, silver bars from Russia, hoards of pure gold and precious ornaments have been found in staggering profusion on the tiny island of Gotland. But how did this immense wealth come to find its way to this remote island in the Baltic, seemingly far from the source of such wealth. Magnus Magnusson follows the elusive path of the Rus, the legendary tribe of Swedish Vikings whose power, might and ingenuity led them to the gates of Constantinople.

The South-East Nuba
The Nuba Mve in a remote part of Africa near the centre of the Sudan. They have a flamboyant culture of their own. Their tradition of body decoration is the most famous in the world. The sport of their young men, bracelet fighting, is unique. After such contests the girls dance in praise of the young men's bravery. No one interfered with their way of life until the visit ten years ago of the former Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl. Her sensationalist photographs caused much embarrassment to the Sudanese authorities, who are now trying to convert the Nuba to Islam. Narrator JULIAN PETTIFER
