The captivating four-part miniseries New Worlds is about love, sorrow, and the human price that had to be paid in order to give us the freedoms and rights that we have today. We follow the fortunes of four young people, Beth, Hope, Abe, and Ned, who are caught up in these dangerous times from both the American and the British sides of the Atlantic. We see them struggle as they are pulled between love and ideas amid the harsh reality of the changing world. We witness them struggle as they are divided between love and ideals. Tyranny has been reinstated under the newly restored monarchy of Charles II in England, which has broken its pledges to the people. In the shadow of the decadence of the Court lies a terror machine that is crushing the freedoms earned for the people with so much blood during the English Civil War, when Charles I was put to death. In the new world, the tentacles of state terror reach the English colonists of New England who are fighting to break free from the constraints imposed on them by the English Crown. At the same time, colonists are ruthlessly staking their claim to the territories occupied by Native American Indians, and they are shedding much of the American Indian's blood in the process - in a chilling echo of the tyrannical behavior that they sought to escape from when they crossed the Atlantic. In other words, colonists are shedding much of the blood of American Indians.
