500 Nations (1995)
An excellent historical documentary mini-series
I can remember first seeing this documentary almost seven years ago and at the time, I was completely fascinated by so many unknown truths that this documentary uncovered. There are so many things that are not taught about the Native American struggle in our country. Many of the things in this documentary are simply not talked about in schools when I was growing up. I wish I could remember more details of this great documentary but it has been seven years.
Kevin Costner did a wonderful job producing and hosting this mini-series. Perhaps he was inspired after making "Dances with Wolves". Whatever the reason, this mini-series will always stand out for its stunningly beautiful and tragic portrayal of Native American history in the Americas.
The Mists of Avalon (2001)
A contrived retelling of the Arthurian legend
I was looking forward to seeing this mini-series with some interest, since I'm a big fan of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. However, I was greatly disappointed. I felt that they stretched this story a bit far and it didn't do justice to the legend of King Arthur. The story was contrived and even though the settings and actors were good, you can only do so much with a poor story such as this one.
This mini-series had potential but just couldn't live up to it.
