2005 · 100 min

A slow, earnest historical drama about faith and family division, more instructive than gripping.

Tagline: Every Dream Has a Price
Overview: Divided by their diverse reactions to a nascent ideology, the Steeds struggle to hold together as the strength of their convictions and their filial bonds are tested. The stirring narrative of the faith that led a persecuted people to Missouri and beyond is one of the most poignant untold tales of American history. It is the account of a valiant struggle to exercise the rights promised by a fledgling nation.
How it feels: Measured and fine in the background.
About: Faith, family, identity, betrayal
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
