About this listen

The legend of Sigurd and the Seawalkers sweeps across generations of a small Nordic coastal village as they transform from a whaling society into an early beacon of sustainability. When young Sigurd experiences a stirring vision during a hunt, it ignites a lonely existential crisis that ultimately leads him to pioneer compassionate ways for his people to co-exist with whales, not slaughter them.

Despite scorn and hardship from his skeptical kindred, Sigurd sacrifices all to renew their ancestral pact with nature through stewardship. His lifelong struggle painfully reshapes old traditions but redeems their future, as the village evolves from exploiting whales to honoring them, ensuring prosperity for man and marine life alike. This allegorical saga of change conveys a timeless message about wrestling with our past sins to restore balance with the natural world. Sigurd’s heroic choices can inspire today’s generation to bravely chart humanity’s next chapter. For often in the legends of our ancestors echo the solutions we still seek in times of crisis.
