The Work And The Glory: American Zion

Jonathan Scarfe ("Into the West") portrays Joseph Smith in THE WORK AND THE GLORY: AMERICAN ZION, which chronicles the hardships that plagued the early followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - a story never before told on the big screen. Brenda Strong ("Desperate Housewives") and Eric Johnson (Legends of the Fall) star in this inspiring and, at times chilling, historic tale of believers forced to flee their homes and travel westward across the United States fueled only by their newfound faith. Following one family's struggles and triumphs, THE WORK AND THE GLORY: AMERICAN ZION relates how bonds are tested when fathers and sons find themselves on opposite sides of a religion openly persecuted in 19th century America.
