Mormons, The (Widescreen) : Mormons have always had a strange hold on the American imagination as licentious polygamists and pioneer heroes, subversives and super patriots, hard workers and possessors of dark secrets. Yet though Mormons have been persecuted more than any other religious group in the nation's history, and though Mormonism is one of the fastest growing faiths, most Americans know little about the religion. In this revealing, provocative "American Experience/Frontline" co-production, producer Helen Whitney ("Faith And Doubt At Ground Zero") digs deep into the Mormon past to understand the church today.

At a crossroads, the Mormon Church is now finally confronting its history - what is fact and what is myth? - and reconciling scientific and historical truth with religious doctrine. With unprecedented access to church archives and with the cooperation of church leadership, Whitney paints a more complex portrait of Mormonism than ever before, a portrait that neither vilif...
