The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of America's fastest
growing religions, and its influence circles the globe. The church has 12
million members today and over half of them live outside the U.S. Yet the
birth of Mormonism and its history is one of America's great neglected
narratives. This four-hour documentary brings together FRONTLINE and
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in their first co-production to provide a searching
portrait of this fascinating but often misunderstood religion. Produced by
award-winning filmmaker Helen Whitney ("Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero,"
John Paul II: The Millennial Pope"), the film will explore the richness, the
complexities, and the controversies of the Mormons' story as told through
interviews with leaders and members of the church, with leading writers and
historians, and with supporters and critics of the Mormon faith.
