Wissenswertes
Closing credits epilogue: Of the 103 men, women and children who sailed for 66 days aboard the Mayflower, 51 died during the first winter in the New World. John Alden and Priscilla Mullins married, and had eleven children. Captain Myles Standish was instrumental in establishing friendly relations with the native Indians. Rose Standish died shortly after arrival. William Brewster continued to provide inspired spiritual leadership to the people of Plymouth Colony. And Captain Christopher Jones stayed on in The New World for six months before sailing back to England and retiring. The Plymouth Colony flourished... Perhaps no other group would ever so completely epitomize the courage, hopes and dreams of what would become AMERICA.

TV Movie That's Way Above The Average

Let's be honest, a lot of those Made-for-TV movies leave a lot to be desired, but that's not the case with this one. It gives a pretty realistic picture of what it was like for the Separatists (a.k.a. Pilgrims) but before they left England and on the journey to the New World, which was no pleasure cruise, to say the least.

Along with the stories of William and Mary Brewster, Miles and Rose Standish, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, and others aboard the ship, there's detail about the way they had to live, the cramped quarters, lack of privacy, rationing of food and water (the former often bug infested the latter less than fresh), illness, storms, leaks in the hold, damage to the ship, not to mention the clash of lifestyles between the pious Pilgrims and the earthy sailors. It was entertaining, yet not sugar coated.

I recommend this one.
