....November 22nd at 9 AM [ just in time for THANKSgiving ]......movie about Pilgrims......the trailer is available to peruse....
SAINTS & STRANGERS
Saints & Strangers is a story that goes beyond the familiar historical account of Thanksgiving and the founding of Plymouth Plantation, revealing the trials and tribulations of the settlers at Plymouth: 102 men, women and children who sailed on a chartered ship for a place they had never seen. Of this group, half are those we think of as “pilgrims,” religious separatists who abandoned their prior lives for a single cause: religious freedom. The other half, the "merchant adventurers," had less spiritual and more material, real-world objectives. This clash of values created complex inner struggles for the group as they sought to establish a new colony, compounded by a complicated relationship with the local Native American tribes. The conflicting allegiances among these groups culminated in trials of assimilation, faith, and compromise, that continued to define our nation to this day.
The four-hour TV movie — debuting Sunday, Nov. 22 at 9/8c — follows the 101 men, women and children who boarded the Mayflower for a one-way trip to the New World. The cast includes Mad Men‘s Vincent Kartheiser (looking much shaggier than the last time we saw him), as well as Anna Camp (True Blood), Barry Sloane (Revenge), Ron Livingston (Boardwalk Empire), Natascha McElhone (Californication) and more.....
THANK...Heaven, for....?!
