…in the beginning all the World was America, and more so than it is now.” -John Locke, Second Treatise on government (1690)
The New World is an epic adventure set amid the encounter of European and Native American cultures following the founding of the Jamestown Settlement in 1607.

Against a historically accurate Virginia backdrop, Malick has set a dramatized tale of two strong-willed characters-a passionate and noble young native woman and an ambitious soldier of fortune-torn between the undeniable requirements of their civic duty and the inescapable demands of the human heart.
