Episode 1 of 10

Sarah doesn’t want to join the exiles, unlike her husband, but their son’s arrest gives them no choice. Stars Louise Brealey.

A series made to mark the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower on 16th September 2020.

Adrian Bean's gripping ten-part story about one family's journey into the unknown.

What do you do when your beliefs are condemned by the rest of society?

Sarah Hargreaves doesn't share her husband Matthew's desire to join the Puritan exiles, but when their son Benjamin is arrested on a trumped-up charge they have little choice but to go.
