Thanksgiving 2021 was a milestone—Thanksgiving was first celebrated 400 years ago in 1621. There is a new Providence Forum documentary telling the true story of the Pilgrims. In their own words, they came “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.”
This documentary, THE PILGRIMS, celebrates the journey of a small group of outcasts in their quest for religious freedom. Guests in this particular episode include: Dennis Prager, Alveda King, Paul Jehle, Leo Martin, Rod Gragg, Bill Federer, and William Wrestling Brewster, the great-grandson (by 9x) of the defacto Pilgrim Pastor, Elder Brewster. This special was produced by Dr. Jerry Newcombe and is a presentation of the Providence Forum.

Video Transcript
Speaker 1:
The recent war on history threatens to erase America’s past. The Pilgrims, hailed by Movieguide as inspiring, combats the lies to reveal America’s true history.
Speaker 2:
The Pilgrims. They were poor. They were outcasts. They were enemies of the state for their refusal to submit to the Church of England.
Speaker 3:
The Mayflower was a cargo ship, but the most precious cargo that was carried across the Atlantic were the ideas in the hearts of the pilgrims that were drawn from the Bible.
Dennis Prager:
The pilgrims did experiment with this socialism or communalism, and they realized it didn’t work. It is against human nature.
Speaker 5:
Half their number died. This is not what they signed up for at all.
Leo Martin:
But what the pilgrims did in Plymouth is absolutely amazing. Not only did they start self-rule, they started free trade, capitalism, land ownership, all in 10 years with 51 people. So the shadow they cast was an amazing shadow.
Speaker 1:
The real story is more fantastic than fiction.
Speaker 7:
The pilgrims had good relationships with the Indians. The pilgrims were kind to the Indians. They showed them love. They showed them compassion. They showed them the godly way to live.
Speaker 3:
You see the seeds of liberty, both religious liberty and civil liberty, and the idea of self-government and rule from within. All these are within that body of pilgrims.
Dennis Prager:
The pilgrims founded America for all intents and purposes.
