MOLLY'S PILGRIM video Thanksgiving RARE OOP VHS

This VHS video is Brand NEW, sealed! About 23 minutes.

 

“This beautiful little film tells the story of Molly, a rather sad and lonely little girl who has recently immigrated to the US from Russia. The "in-crowd" girls make fun of her accent, her clothes, even the food she brings for lunch. As Thanksgiving nears, the teacher asks each student to make a Pilgrim doll at home. Molly, of course, has to be told what Thanksgiving is, much to the delight of the girls who taunt her. Molly explains to her mother that a pilgrim was someone who came here from another country for religious freedom. "Like us!" her mama says, and makes a doll that looks like a Jewish/Russian peasant girl. Molly is horrified, but takes the doll to school anyway. The teacher wisely explains to the class that Molly's pilgrim is, indeed, a pilgrim, and the mean classmates decide that Molly is friend-material, after all.

…We need more films about tolerance and kindness like this. It is not heavy-handed; it is told from Molly's perspective. We share her agony and her ultimate joy. The actors are natural and believable; Molly's grief at not fitting in is universally understood and appreciated by children 7-10 years of age.”

**Be sure to catch the cameo of the author, Barbara Cohen, as the crossing guard. Her sympathy with Molly is almost palpable.
