Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Birthday Gift Comment: I got this movie for my husband's birthday. He watched it on his day off work. Really enjoyed it. Customer Rating: Summary: Thanksgiving On Steroids... Comment: This is an extraordinarily imaginative re-enactment of historical times. I found it interesting how much information was left out on the Pilgrim's journey to America. Their journey was very perilous and is not as "pretty" as described in history books. The reality is that there was great struggle in lives of the Pilgrims who offered the nations first Thanksgiving. Many of the founding Pilgrims lost their loved ones and died of extreme illness. This show has a great balance with both narrative and historical point of views. This is a fantastic film to watch before the holidays as a reminder of how Thanksgiving truly came to be. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent documentary Comment: This is an excellent docu-drama. I plan on showing it to my high school students next year before they read about the pilgrims--excellent movie.

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. More Reviews
