The reason for my poor review has less to do with the technical quality of the film than with its content. Actually, it's fairly well made for a straight to DVD historical biopic. It's simply not a very accurate account of Mormon history. The reasons for anti-Mormon sentiment in Missouri and elsewhere isn't mentioned at all, and polygamy is only mentioned in passing. Not a single one of Joseph Smith's 25+ other wives is even mentioned, nor is the 5000 man strong Nauvoo Legion or Smith's attempts to establish a theocratic dictatorship everywhere he went.
I know a lot of Mormons, and they are almost universally nice and respectable people. I just wish for once that they would own up to their somewhat sordid past.
