Columbus: Hero or Villain? History Buffs Review 1492: Conquest of Paradise

Studying Columbus? 

Here's a great clip that might help students understand what really happened when Columbus set sail for Asia.

History Buffs, a group that reviews the historical accuracies of historical movies, rip apart Ridley Scott's 1992 film called "1492, Conquest of Paradise."

They argue that Scott romanticizes the conquest of America and attempt to explain why Columbus does not deserve to be celebrated but should instead be condemned. 

The review is engaging and only 20 minutes.
