September Dawn

Friday, August 24, 2007

On September 11, 1857, a wagon train of emigrants passing through Mountain Meadows, Utah was attacked my members of a Mormon militia. Jon Voight's latest film, September Dawn, is a fictionalized account of the brutal massacre that left over a hundred men, women, and children dead, a tragedy that still haunts the Church of Latter-Day Saints one hundred and fifty years later.

September Dawn opens today nationwide.

    I am wondering if there will be any political issues that will crop up with this movie considering the fact that the GOP frontrunner is a Mormon.
