The Celts were the first European people north of the Alps to rise from anonymity. Wild and ferocious, they were also romantics and mystics, and they shared a family of languages that are now the oldest living tongues of Europe. Their story is one of survival, defiance, and creativity, often in the face of oppression. The story of The Celts is presented in a six-episode set as told by The Celts themselves.
