The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Nature Screen
   “The Pilgrims”
An Original PBS American Experience Documentary by Ric Burns


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” 
during Museum hours: Wednesday, November 16th ~ 
Saturday December 3, 2016. Two 
showings:  11am-1pm & 1pm – 3pm. *(No showing:  Friday 11/25 & Saturday 11/26).

  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"?

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.

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."

  Free with Museum Admission ~ Museum Hours are Wednesday – Sundays 11am-3pm

Join us every month for compelling, educational 
and visually stunning nature documentaries that 
inspire appreciation, curiosity and stewardship 
of our natural world and its inhabitants.
