Incredibly powerful and moving film that contains the only footage that exists of the forensic investigation into the massacre that happened on September 11, 1857 when Utah Mormons murdered 120 men, women and children traveling by wagon train to California. The film has won 11 awards and is told through the actual testimony of a young girl who survived the massacre and witnessed the murders. What makes this film especially moving are the interviews with descendants still haunted by the massacre, and struggling to forgive each other today. The question of Brigham Young's involvement and cover-up of the massacre is investigated, as well as the LDS Church's ownership of the land where the massacre took place and where the victims are buried, and the Church's refusal to apologize to the victim's families. The LDS Church presents their side of the story, responding with their own defense. Far from propaganda, the documentary presents the truth with integrity, showing both sides of the story. The film paints a chilling portrait of how religious intolerance causes human beings to destroy one another, why the massacre happened, and what really took place September 11, 1857, as new evidence is revealed.
