Barbarians

Four Barbarian Tribes. A Millennium Of Terror.

For nearly a millennium, the barbarian hordes rose up and swept across Asia, Europe, and Africa, pillaging towns and sacking empires. But who were these barbarians, seemingly devoted only to violence and destruction, their language the battle-axe and mighty sword?

In four acclaimed programs from The History Channel, Barbarians explores the origins of the Huns, Goths, Vikings, and Mongols. Shot on location, Emmy Award-winning documentarian Robert Gardner (Islam: Empire Of Faith and Egypt: Quest For Immortality) uses in-depth interviews, thrilling reenactments, and narration by Clancy Brown (The Hurricane, The Shawshank Redemption) to bring to life the powerful leaders, military strength, and overwhelming drive that kept empires on three continents in terror for centuries.
