THE AMERICAN RUNESTONE

Did the Vikings discover the New World?

Synopsis

In 1898, Swedish immigrant Olof Ohman claimed to have found a runestone in Minnesota, left by Viking explorers more than two centuries before Columbus arrived in North America.

Actor Peter Stormare (‘The Big Lebowski’; ‘Prison Break’, ‘Minority Report’) was born in the same region of Sweden as Olof Ohman. He meets scholars, sceptics, and sensationalists on a deeply personal and often humorous journey that leaves no stone unturned.
