New Worlds
New Worlds is really a 4 part miniseries dealing with the human price paid for the freedoms and liberties, loss and love. We follow the fortunes of four people - Beth, Abe, Hope and Ned - out around either side of the Atlantic, caught up in such times. We see them fight as they are torn between ideals and love at the reality of their changing universe. Back in England, the restored monarchy of Charles II has betrayed its promises and reverted to tyranny. Behind the Court's decadence, a terror system is repressing the liberty won throughout the War of England to the people with this much blood when Charles I was executed. In America, the tentacles of state terror reach the English colonists of New England who are trying to throw off the shackles of this English Crown. At the same period that the colonists are staking their claim to the lands occupied by the Native American Indians, and shedding much of the American Indian's blood at the procedure - at a frightening echo of this tyrannical behaviour that they sought to escape when they crossed the Atlantic
