The Pilgrims (American Experience)

Their perilous voyage has been part of the country's lore for centuries, but who were the men and women who set sail on board the Mayflower in 1620 in a quest for religious freedom and self-determination? Documentarian Ric Burns traces the odyssey of the English separatists who came to be called the Pilgrims and shows how this small band of colonists helped form the ideas of American democracy. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English (SDH).
