A 2018 Latvian popular-science documentary, co-directed by Lauris Abele and Raitis Abele and produced by Tritone Studio with financing from the National Film Centre of Latvia's centennial fund. The national film database's own synopsis frames it as an account of "Europe's last pagans... what they did, what they believed in, and what made them strong," following a thirteenth-century Gotland merchant through the lands of the historical Baltic tribes, including the Curonians, Latgalians, Selonians, Semigallians, Prussians and Samogitians, at the height of their pre-Christian religious life before conquest.
