desperate crossing
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

Mayflower
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.

Superb!!
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.
