Name: Kto ty, korol Artur?
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 58 min

This film is the chance meeting between Howard Reid and producer Temina Tuaeva

The book "Arthur, the Dragon King" - which was used in the film "Who Are You, King Arthur?" - makes you think hard about how myths shape our understanding of history. Gottfried Howard Reed, the author of the book, offered an unconventional look at one of the most famous legends of Western civilization. And a chance meeting between Howard Reid and producer Temina Tuaeva marked the beginning of the film.

According to the authors, the legendary ruler of Britain had Alanian roots, and the Alans themselves - the ancestors of today's Ossetians - stood at the origins of chivalry in Europe. Doctors and candidates of historical sciences talk about the traces of the Alans' presence in the territory of modern Europe.

The authors do not seek to substantiate or debunk the legend, but show how myth and history are intertwined, creating a powerful cultural narrative. Even if King Arthur is a semi-legendary figure, his influence on the culture and history of Europe cannot be overestimated.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
