The Royal Shakespeare Company provided actors for the extensively reconstructed footage of the trip on the Mayflower and the program also ventures into the first year in their new country as they attempted to forge a relationship with the Native Americans.System Requirements:Running Time: 23 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent documentary Comment: This is an excellent docu-drama.

Customer Rating: Summary: desperate crossing Comment: this movie brought the past to our present by being a drama and also a documentary,this makes you see the begining of our great nation,how Christians Customer Rating: Summary: Mayflower Comment: The History Channel special on the Mayflower gives a good history prior to the Separatist leaving England and the landing of the Mayflower. I read Bradford's account and Philbrick's account of the events. The special is faithful to both and throws in Native perspectives as well. Customer Rating: Summary: Superb!! Comment: In my opinion, this is the most fair and balanced description of the amazing event told from both the view of our white and American Indian brothers and sisters. America owes a great debt of gratitude to the American Indian. This program which accuratly tells the story of the Mayflower shows not only where America wrong, but also where they went right, when it came to the treatment for our American Indian brothers and sisters. Customer Rating: Summary: The Desperate Crossing: The Untold Story of the Mayflower Comment: I saw this advertised on TV, then bought it for our elementary school library. This is an excellent video, with accuracy in both script and physical setting. Being of Native American heritage, I appreciate the portrayal of their roll in assisting the very survival of the Pilgrims. I highly recommend this for home schools, elementary schools, or to own personally!
