The Viking
Newfoundland and LabradorActually produced during the Great Newfoundland Seal Hunt and You see the REAL thing — Originally called White Thunder, American producer Varick Frissell's 1931 film was inspired by his love for the Canadian Arctic Circle. Set in a beautifully black-and-white filmed Newfoundland, it is the story of a rivalry between two seal hunters that plays out on the ice floes during a hunt.

The film was renamed in honor of the dead.
