Vikes (2017)

In the whirlwind of high school life, Thorvald, an everyday teenager, finds himself drawn to his vibrant classmate, Ida, who is already making waves with her passionate campaign to ban a rival school's football team, the Redskins, until they change their racially insensitive name. Inspired by Ida's audacity, Thorvald embarks on a mission of his own, aiming to swap his school's mascot, the Viking, for something that doesn't offend the Scandinavian community. As he navigates this tricky path, Thorvald enlists the aid of a mysterious community organizer and a cunning neighborhood kid, while also trying to win Ida's support, despite the resistance of his parents, peers, and nearly everyone in their small town. Among the chief opponents is Ida's colossal boyfriend, the captain of the Vikings football team, adding an extra layer of tension to Thorvald's quest. This heartening tale is not just about a high school kid's fight for change but also a budding romance that grows amidst the chaos. As Thorvald and Ida become closer, they discover that the journey to change is fraught with obstacles, but it's also peppered with invaluable life lessons and unexpected friendships. 'Vikes' is a charming blend of youthful rebellion, first love, and the pursuit of a less offensive mascot.
