Let's be honest, a lot of those Made-for-TV movies leave a lot to be desired, but that's not the case with this one. It gives a pretty realistic picture of what it was like for the Separatists (a.k.a. Pilgrims) but before they left England and on the journey to the New World, which was no pleasure cruise, to say the least.
Along with the stories of William and Mary Brewster, Miles and Rose Standish, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, and others aboard the ship, there's detail about the way they had to live, the cramped quarters, lack of privacy, rationing of food and water (the former often bug infested the latter less than fresh), illness, storms, leaks in the hold, damage to the ship, not to mention the clash of lifestyles between the pious Pilgrims and the earthy sailors. It was entertaining, yet not sugar coated.
I recommend this one.
