This is a great story of the travels aboard the Mayflower as documented in history. True to life and research was done to improve actualization. Very important for todays society to be made aware of how lucky they are!

A very good dramatization of some of the first English settlers in this region. My husband's family can trace their roots to Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins. My husband was thrilled to get a glimpse of how things might have been. The History Channel did a very good job of marrying documentary with drama. We were so pleased with the DVD that we purchased more copies for family members.

  The truth is even better than the Myths

As they usually do, the History Channel does it again with an outstanding presentation. Everyone should show this DVD on Thanksgiving Day so that we can all appreciate the courage it took to settle this country. No one will be disapointed that some of the myths of Thanksgiving are not true when they see that the real story is even MORE amazing! The basic facts are the same, but the details woven into this spectacular, on the real locations, film will thrill even the most ardent teenage couch potato. This story is part and parcel of what it means to be an American...our heritage, part of our culture. So, I say, "everyone give Thanksgiving its proper true place and you will love it." Thanks to the History Channel!

  Desperate Crossing -The Mayflower story
Review created: 02/29/08

Typical high quality offering by the History Channel - Only regret was that it was not longer. I have three signers of the Compact in my lineage and my direct paternal ancestor arrived in the next few years. I was dying to learn more about the Pilgrims. Should be required viewing in all high school history classes - Now am thirsting to learn more about the Puritans and about the Rhode Island colony. Then King Philip's War was America's most pervasive conflict - will there be more about this period soon? I hope so!

This is an excellent story put together for the History channel. I have an ancestor that came over on the Mayflower and this is the first version of that crossing that I have seen that I felt was honest and straight forward in its telling of their hardships. It was loaded with history that I was not aware of... making it thrill to watch. Not only did it seem Historically correct... it was a joy to watch as well. You won't be disappointed!
