September Dawn

A powerful and unforgettable film, "September Dawn" (2007) details the long-covered-up massacre at Mountain Meadows, Utah, on September 7-11, 1857, where a group of Mormons murdered well over a hundred settlers traveling from Arkansas to California. The film tells a fictional love story against this historical interpretation, with a strong and complex performance by Jon Voight as the troubled son of a Mormon bishop who becomes disillusioned with his faith and ultimately tries to make amends for the tragedy.
