Product Description
Product Description
In November of 1833, the state of Missouri turned a blind eye as hundreds of its peaceful inhabitants were hunted down and driven from their homes in the dead of night. Against this impending strife, a young man with a divine vision leads a people against the aggression of an anti-hero with a vulnerable past. With more than two million copies sold, the second volume of Gerald N. Lund's epic series The Work and the Glory now brings a pivotal moment in American history to the big screen. "The Work and The Glory: American Zion" sets the story of the fictional Steed family against the historically factual backdrop of the Mormon people's move into the West. 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. "The Work and the Glory: American Zion" unearths the story of the passion behind the movement which eventually launched the largest American migration and the colonization of the West: the vision of a promised land in America.

The second in a series of epic films about the beginnings of the Mormon church (preceded by The Work and the Glory and followed by The Work and the Glory: A House Divided), The Work and the Glory: American Zion chronicles the struggles of church founder Joseph Smith (Jonathan Scarfe, Into the West) to found the promised land--Zion--that God has promised him and his followers. The movie blends historical events (such as the destruction of the printing press used to publish Joseph Smith's visions) with the fictional story of the Steed family: The father, Benjamin (Sam Hennings, Seasons of the Heart), doesn't believe in Smith but labors to support his family, even as his two sons are sent in different directions: Nathan (Alexander Carroll) and his wife follow Smith devoutly, while Joshua (Eric Johnson, Smallville) joins a Missouri militia that drives the Mormons from the state. Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints will undoubtedly find this dramatization of their history compelling; for others, it may feel like a religious soap opera trying to encompass so much history that the characters never develop beyond types. Based on the nine-volume series by Gerald N. Lund; also featuring Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives). --Bret Fetzer

- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021I got it because I got it previous used it doesn't work in my dvd player so I got it New hear and it works good
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022❤️❤️❤️
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018I bought it for my wife for Christmas. It was delivered in plenty of time to be under the tree. My wife loves it. You can't watch this one without watching the third movie because there are some hard family issues that are left unresolved.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020These movies are about a make-believe family in the beginning of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These movies are excellent for the entire family.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020This is a good movie. I can't wait to watch the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2018Again best series and best collection of books and movies on the LDS History. I enjoyed the movies since my conversion to LDS in 2013.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024I don’t know why it took me another 20 years from reading this to believe my own story of racism, prejudice, sexism, colorism, etc within the church.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2006I think this is an inspiring, well-made movie. I really don't care how closely the movie does or doesn't follow the book, I thorougly enjoyed it.
I continue to be impressed with Jonathan Scarfe's portrayal of Joseph Smith. He is just about exactly as I've always thought Joseph was. That's just one of the reasons that I really like this movie.
I also very much like Andrew Bowen's portrayal of Brigham Young. I think he captures the essence of Brigham Young's strength of character, his faith, and his loyalty to Joseph Smith. Very well done. Superb.
I've watched this movie twice already, and will probably watch it several more times. I find it moving and inspiring.
I highly recommend it.
