Description:
This signature production by New York's Circle Repertory Company is a story about civilization. Imbued with edgy vitality and raw social surfaces, Lanford Wilson's 1975 Obie Award-winning play dramatizes a confrontation of Native American traditions with the demands of 20th century society. A lyrical thriller, it portrays the conflict between a team of archaeologists and the aspirations of a group of local residents, and raises questions about the monuments we leave behind us as evidence of our vision. "The Mound Builders" was restaged for television on location near the famous Coster archaeological dig in southern Illinois. Features an outstanding cast, headed by Oscar-nominee Brad Dourif (Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).

This History Channel production gives the viewer a basic understanding of these mounds and the people who built them, as well as why they were built. It was interesting to hear the "theories" of early Anglo scientists as to ... Read More
