It might be a hamfisted movie but the historical facts are not in doubt.
So you saw the movie please share with us!
They didn’t even try to disguise the real motivation for the movie.
Every religion, when scrutinized by a skeptic, is open to mockery. Tune in to South Park if you want satire that ridicules, sect by sect, all comers in the world of religious zealots especially Mormons.
But September Dawn isn't mockery. It's practically a call to jihad.
We can probably count the days until this shows up for sale on fringe Christian TV channels, its virtues trumpeted by some minister or other marketing his or her version of "The Truth."
There are facts here. It's thought-provoking in the ways it makes you consider how this event resembles that later 9/11.
But there's the unmistakable air of evil about this enterprise, and not just an atrocity the Mormon church caused to happen 150 years ago.
“It might be a hamfisted movie but the historical facts are not in doubt.”
You are correct. Way back in the ‘70’s, I researched Mormon history, and came across several non-sectarian sources that described this ugly episode. It is historical fact. Many Latter Day Staints (Mormons) want to deny it, but it did happen. Has anyone ever heard of the “Danites”; also called, “The Avenging Angels” who were sort of a proletarian guard for the Mormon leadership? Has anyone ever heard of “blood atonement”?
Do some googling, if you have not.
Have you seen the movie?
