Kilian's Chronicle
http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/kchron/kchron.html
Kilian's Chronicle carries us back to a different beginning, five centuries before Columbus, when the vikings were lost on these shores. To find their way home they needed the navigating stone, stolen by Kilian, the Irish slave, who escaped from their ship. This film tells the story of Kilian's flight to freedom and his encounter with the original people of America.
