Based on the beautifully sensitive book by Barbara Cohen, this live-action film examines the plight of a young Russian-Jewish immigrant who has come to the United States to escape religious persecution. Taunted by her classmates because of her ethnic mannerisms, Molly wins their respect in a profound way, likening her plight to that of the original Pilgrims, who came to America for religious freedom. It takes all kind of Pilgrims to make a Thanksgiving is one message of this special story. "Molly's Pilgrim" carries a message about religious tolerance and other American values, Thanksgiving, and growing up, and can be appreciated on many different levels. 24 minutes,
