DTG Productions' long-awaited motion picture, 'The Battle of Maldon', has finally been released!

Set in AD 991 at the mouth of the river Panta, the Earl Byrhtnoth deals battle to Viking raiders. Unfortunately the epic poem is a fragment; the opening lines and the end have been lost. It remains nonetheless a magnificent record of heroism and courage.
