</b>BREWSTER, MA Nature Screen at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
in Brewster presents the PBS American Experience Documentary from
award-winning director Ric Burns, “The Pilgrims” <b> Wednesdays, November
1, 8, 15, & 22 2017 11:30am-1:30pm.<br>
<br>
</b>In the early 17th century, a small group of religious radicals
embarked from England to establish a separatist religious community
across the Atlantic Ocean in the New World. The challenges they faced in
making new lives for themselves still resonate almost 400 years later.
Who were the men and women who constituted this multifarious band of
English Protestants whom we call "the Pilgrims"? <br>
<br>
Their narrative has been clouded in myth, embedded in Thanksgiving Day
feasts, football, and parades. Now, award-winning filmmaker, Ric Burns,
shatters the Pilgrims’ myth through a vivid retelling of the story via
acclaimed actor Roger Rees, who portrays William Bradford as he recites
in the third person the account of the Pilgrims. <br>
<br>
This historical documentary was partially filmed at Plimoth Plantation
and is also supported by a number of great writers; including Nantucket’s
own Nathaniel Philbrick; author of "Mayflower." <br>
<b> <br>

Sundays 11am-3pm<br>
