Desperate Crossing: the Untold Story of the Mayflower December 7, 2008

Sit back, relax and enjoy an exciting and suspenseful feature film in our new, state-of-the-art theater. Every Sunday at 9:30 am, guests to the museum will be invited to view The History Channel's film: Desperate Crossing: The Untold Story of the Mayflower. This film sheds new light on the shared, but popularly misunderstood, history of the Native Wampanoag and English colonists of 1620 Plymouth Colony. Using historically accurate dramatizations, this production was shot on location at Plimoth Plantation with the assistance of members of the Wampanoag community and the museum staff. Working as consultants on the film, the museum provided interviews, actors and an authentic backdrop for this epic tale. The running time for this film is 2 hours and 17 minutes. Visitors are invited to stay for all or part of the film.
