The Dig

On Netflix... True story. Archaeologist dig up a ship along with treasures from the Anglo Saxon era. Sound a bit of a hum drum? Not so. Filming was done on the beautiful English countryside. A lovely story involving the lives surrounding the discovery of these treasures in a country on the verge of war. Hope to visit the British Museum to see these beautiful artifacts one day. Well done.

I have a degree in Medieval History and I'm a total Anglophile, so I'm somewhat biased. What a wonderful movie!
