Why the Dark Ages Were Actually a Time of Great Achievement

This documentary reexamines the so-called Dark Ages, arguing they were in fact a time of great achievement rather than mere barbarism. Guided by archaeologist Francis Pryor, it studies relics that reveal a richer, more sophisticated post-Roman Britain than popular belief allows. The film challenges old assumptions with fresh evidence from the ground. It is an eye-opening watch for anyone interested in early medieval history and the truth behind the myths.
