Saints & Strangers

*Saints & Strangers* dives into the real story of the Pilgrims, revealing a history far more complex than the simple Thanksgiving tale. The National Geographic miniseries follows the harrowing 1620 voyage of the Mayflower, which carried two distinct groups: the "Saints," religious separatists seeking freedom, and the "Strangers," adventurers motivated by profit. Upon reaching the New World, these factions must overcome their own distrust and internal conflicts to survive a brutal winter. Their struggle for existence leads to a complicated and tense relationship with the Native American population, marked by both alliance and betrayal. The series explores the harsh realities and political maneuvering behind the founding of Plymouth Colony. The series has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.
