Avalon - Disney's 'Pocahontas' is factually inaccurate to the point it should be canceled or banned. Pocahontas would have been around 10 and John Smith 27. The National Women's History Museum wrote that Smith left Virginia and returned to England due to a gunpowder wound, but not until 1609 — two years after meeting Pocahontas. In the film, the wounded Smith returns to England after Pocahontas saves him. In 2008, historian and writer Alex von Tunzelmann for The Guardian gave the film a B entertainment grade and a D+ history grade. It's offensive to the Indigenous People!
