I started watching a show last night (I think it was 11:00), and it was about the theory that natives first arrived in North America 17,000 years ago. I did not see the title, and I turned it on after it began. There were some people in a boat crossing a combination sea and ice bridge. All three people in the boat did not look Asian at all, in fact they looked European. I chuckled to myself at how stupid this show was to not use the correct race of people as actors. It was not until about 15 more minutes that I found they actually were Europeans, and this storyline was based upon a single spear point found in Virginia.
Anyway, I found the show interesting. They depicted the mile high glaciers pretty well, and the people kept wandering south to find the correct stone to make weapons for the mammoth they wanted to kill. They went beyond New Jersey for some reason...probably because the pines were a cold desert at that time? Later in the show, their ancestors (6,000 years later) were moving in a westerly direction and came upon 3 Asian people out hunting. Depicting that event was well-done for a small documentary. When they looked at each others faces it was a strange, puzzling moment.
Very thought-provoking show. I think a real movie would do well as long as they can keep the Hollywood drama down a bit.
