liwib525 This movie was beautifully made. It made me cry. Joseph Smith truly was the prophet of the last dispensation.Watching this movie genuinely increased my testimony and my faith in Jesus Christ. While watching this movie, I realized the struggles that Joseph Smith went through in his life. Not only did he struggle, but the pain and suffering his family went through as well is truly inspiring.By watching this I know that I can have a stronger faith to emulate the strength of Joseph Smith.I highly recommend this movie.

Bryan Sabin I watched this movie from the perspective of someone who views Joseph Smith as a prophet, called by God to restore truths that had been distorted and lost. Regardless of your religious background you can appreciate the challenges and trials that this man went through for his beliefs. I respect anyone that holds to their beliefs when faced with opposition and Joseph Smith certainly did. This movie is not perfect, but it does a great job portraying his life and struggles as well as those that early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints went through (The Mormons). I definitely encourage anyone to watch it and appreciate what people in this time of history went through!

tag44017 As a convert into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I try to absorb as much as I can of my new religion's history. I was invited to attend a showing of this film with my sons & the other young men & women as well as their families of our ward. On a beautiful spring evening, we drove to Kirtland, Ohio to the church's historical village located there. We were to have had reservations at the Vistor's Center to view this movie. Since my movie viewing was limited to only a few church documentaries, I was intrigued. The only "full length motion pictures" of the church's I had seen was "Legacy" and "My Best Two Years", both which I thought were very well written and preformed.At the beginning, the missionary interpretor passed out tissues stating that several people had been deeply moved to the point of tears by this movie. I thought "OK...but it takes a lot to move me to tears." Imagine my surprise when I found myself sobbing! It truly is a very moving & inspirational testament to the Prophet Joseph Smith.See it & believe in it's powerful message!

gabbsaton This film is a true and historical film. It is very useful to those researching the LDS church, because it is 100% true. It is an excellent film and I recommend it.It is very factual, exciting, and motivational. There are some who think it is not factual, but it is.It is about the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and about the prophet, Joseph Smith, who restored it. It has such events in his life as the disease that he had when he was a small boy, his courting Emma Smith, Emma, his wife, giving birth, and so on. But most importantly it reveals the restoration of the church.
