Filled with deception, turmoil, and death, “Fatal Encounter – The Last Indians of Greenwich,” is a short documentary that dramatically captures how, in 1644, an unscrupulous leader of New Amsterdam hatched a plan to eradicate the last native American stronghold of southwest Connecticut, just 30 miles from Manhattan. The consequences of this event were devastating, and would be repeated frequently during the great migration across the continent. This important piece of American history tries to understand how European settlers – in just 200 years - swept away a civilization that dated back nearly 20,000 years.
