The Truth behind the First Thanksgiving
Their sacrifices. Their trials.
Their victories. Their sacred honor.
Their allies and foes.
Our Mission & Vision
There is a hunger in America for truth.
Our goal is to show how faith, conviction, courage and tenacity was used by Providence and unlikely allies that allowed the pilgrims to plant the seeds of a new nation in the midst of disease, racial and socio-political turmoil, and cultural conflicts.
“There is a great need to engage our culture with content that delivers a message of eternal relevance.We are working with The 1620 Experience because we believe their message will create a thought-provoking mini-series that will help to educate and preserve our culture with faith and truth – something we strive for in all our productions.”

The American Culture Started with 102 Brave Souls
Liberty, Justice, and Equality among men. These were the values sown into the soil of New England by the Mayflower passengers – 54 of whom perished that first winter – and established a new way of life for all mankind.
“Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many…”
― William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth Colony
