Trollhunter

Welcome to the month of March where we will be diving into the world of mythological creatures and their lore. To kick off the month we discuss the 2010 Norwegian film, Trollhunter. The film follows 3 film students trying to find and film an alleged bear poacher.  They relentlessly follow this intriguing character all around Norway.  As they get closer, they find themselves involved in a government program that manages the local troll population, and the students are determined to obtain footage then send it to the local news at any cost… 

As of February 2021, it is streaming on Vudu, Tubi, and Crackle
