Description:
It's a story of bubonic plague, starvation, espionage and cannibalism -- and the founding of America's first colony. In 1607, a handful of English adventurers set sail across the Atlantic, expecting a paradise teeming with gold and riches. Now, 400 years later, the latest discoveries reveal the true story of Jamestown--as you've never seen it before. With exclusive access to forensics and archaeology, National Geographic reveals shocking new evidence of starvation and disease, secret plots and Spanish spies. Authentic recreations bring to life one of the most dramatic chapters in America's history.

My husband and 5th grade students found this video quite interesting.

There are several attempts to teach solid historical concepts and this would maybe work all the way down to 5th grade--in two parts w/an interesting follow up activity. Some good use of graphics as in the reconstruction of the fort that indicates the colossal amounts of both work and fear that motivated colonial people around Native Americans.

The documentary The New World: Nightmare in Jamestown is not my favorite. In this 50-minute film, a major section was devoted to an exploration of what had happened at Jamestown from 1606 until 1612. The reporting style was similar to that of the TV series, 48 hours: mystery. You will see some skeletons on which autopsies were performed to figure out causes of the death. The sites were revisited. The Indian actors were dressed in conventional costume. However, the scenes lost the flavor of ... Read More

National Geographic's "The New World: Nightmare in Jamestown" is a fast-paced, and engaging DVD that keeps young and old viewers attentive. The dramatizations and recreations are just graphic enough to let you know how dangerous life in the colony was (sickness, hunger, paranoia, fear of Spain). The risks these people took to begin an English colony in the "New World" are made clear. The only thing really missing from this DVD is some background about prior English/Native American interactions (dating ... Read More
