Pocahontas: The Legend -- Film Description:
"The early American legend of Pocahontas comes to life in this film about Pilgrim leader John Smith (Miles O'Keefe), who is captured by a tribe of Indians shortly after settling in the New World. Soon, John meets and falls in love with the princess Pocahontas (Sandrine Holt), daughter of a powerful Indian chief. The film treats their love, challenged by the clash of two very different cultures."
