September Dawn Sheds Light on Mormon-Led Slaughter

I agree that it would have been refreshing to see a more even-handed treatment. The Christian communities at large did not always treat Mormons with love and acceptance, there was some violence, riots, harassment, etc. Joe Smith himself was killed in such a riot.

However, I applaud the subject matter of the film, as the Mormons themselves instigated violence and worse; by their ruthlessness and willingness to claim God's authority in anything, its easy to see how they were repellent to the communities around them.

As a history lesson it's good to see that Indians, Christians and Mormons and others were not all the politically correct versions you see today; however more reality and less stereotypes would make a better movie.

To me, it seems you miss the point. The views may be biased in your view, and probably are. However, there is truth and there is falsehood, in religion as elsewhere. No matter how Mormonism is portrayed, it is a cult. Pure and simple, and should not be condoned to any degree. That may sound harsh and judgmental to some people in this age of "inclusiveness", but God does not make allowances for anything short of HIS truth. As for the nudity and other icky stuff, that alone should eliminate this film from the list of those to be viewed by any believer. Our spirits are corrupted by viewing this smut.
