Beowulf: Prince of the Geats

Based On “Beowulf”

Beowulf: Prince of the Geats is a 2007 film based on the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf. The film was made by Scott Wegener on a shoestring budget with proceeds benefiting the American and Norwegian Cancer Societies. The film was shown only briefly in theaters, but that its central character was played by a Black actor generated much racist online commentary. The film addresses issues of "colonialism and exploitation", according to Kathleen Forni.
