Excellent, a Must See

Best movie ever!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I will only say to those who have not seen this film, I hope one day you will. It is a wonderful movie with a great cast. Elizabeth Montgomery, Hal Holbrook, Jane Seymore really brought this film to life. It was one of the few mini-series I truly enjoyed watching over and over whenever it came on television. My only problem is that many people will NOT get to see the movie because it is not available on VHS or DVD anywhere that I have checked. Maybe one day the company that owns the rights to the film will release it so it can be enjoyed by new group of viewers. If anyone out there know where it can be purchased, please let the rest of us know.Thanks.

I have been searching everywhere to buy this movie for presents to my mother and sisters. I remember watching it when I was in elementary school and learning the states and capitols, mom taught me Montgomery, Alabama by using one of my favorite actress's so I learned it as Elizabeth Montgomery,Alabama.I had to go to bed before the end of the movie each night due to school the next day so I missed the end of each episode of the mini series and have wanted to see it for many years. I loved Bewitched and still watch it whenever it's on.I just loved Miss Montgomery and in whatever I saw her in, She's right up there with Lucille Ball, my other all time favorite actress. I am trying to purchase the trilogy of books that "The Awakening Land" was made from, as a gift to my sister but I would love so much to be able to give them all a copy of the movie as well.

The Awakening Land is one of the best mini-series I have ever seen. I well remember when this first came out on TV. I called in sick to work in order to finish watching it. Elizabeth Montgomery did a marvelous job, and I can't believe it hasn't been made available commercially. If you have any interest at all in how the pioneers handled the settling of new territory, this is an absolute must. It reminded me a bit of 'How the West Was Won' in scope, although it doesn't cover as many generations. Hal Holbrook gave a great performance too. I have always admired the courage of the early pioneers and the hard lives they led. The Awakening Land is a great showcase of this courage and how these pioneers handled the tough circumstances under which they lived.

I actually recorded this in all its parts when I saw it was being aired on TBS. Of course I got the commercials too, but I felt it was worth it to be able to watch The Awakening Land whenever I wanted to. Of course, I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was ever put out on VHS or DVD. The series was cast so wonderfully. Each person did his/her role superbly. The first time I watched this series I was "hooked". Of course, I've always loved Elizabeth Montgomery and Hal Holbrook, but the historical insight was fascinating too.I would recommend this to everyone, but they wouldn't be able to see it like I do, whenever they want to because of the unavailability.
