I understand how non-Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) viewers might have difficulty with this movie. It is definitely a religious film. They did a very good job portraying how difficult this journey was... probably a little too well. I know this is history but the way a story is presented can make a world of difference. Was it really necessary to graphically show death and mass graves? I would have better appreciated there being more emphasis placed on the actual miracles, maybe even enumerating them instead of me having to guess half the time. This movie did bring tears to my eyes but it also left me with a shadow of darkness. Go ahead and tell the story but I didn't particularly find this "inspiring", just depressing.
