This film went beyond what I learned in school about the pilgrims. It goes through more detailed events leading up to them landing at Plymouth, MA in 1620. It gives you a sense of how desperate times were in England under a tyrannical government which had no tolerance for Christians. Kirk Cameron talks to historians and experts to paint a picture of just how hard the Puritans fought to be free from an oppressive government. Cameron, with the help of a historian, discovers a hidden gem of history--a little heard about monument to our founding--and gives the viewer an interpretation of the meaning of said monument. An excellent film that every American should see.
