White supremacists are touting Robert Eggers’��new Viking Hollywood blockbuster The Northman,��starring Alexander Skarsgaurd and Nicole Kidman.��Pulling from Viking history and Nordic mythology, the film features an all-white cast and plays into the “macho barbarian” stereotype, on Reddit and the anonymous message board site 4chan.��

In this video,��Mathias Nordvig, head of the Nordic Studies Program, explains how we’ve come to perceive Scandinavians as “bloodthirsty barbarians,”��why white supremacy groups are drawn to these themes and how it impacts Nordic communities in the United States and abroad.
