★★★★★ · essential viewing · cashel · 2003-11-11
To acknowledge the debt we owe to our pioneer ancesters...Although set in kentucky,similar events could have occurred in australia, nz,canada, and many other places it is a ten minute film made at low cost...If hollywood tackled this they would probably spend $100 million and give a garbled history.. A 1 hour doco would have large number of viewers would switch off before the end. I again give it 5

Pretty good EB production which focuses on the Taylor's quest for a home and land of their own in the birth of the state of Kentucky. Nice costuming and set pieces here. The only thing wrong is the dialog which is obviously a dub and dubbed not all too convincingly.
