About American Prophet: The Story of Joseph Smith
Millions of people around the world know of him. Yet this frontier prophet of the early 1800's found little honor and eventual martyrdom at the hands of an angry mob in his own country. Who was this Joseph Smith and what was it about his remarkable life story, which inspired such impassioned rancor or unflinching reverence? Please join Academy Award winner Gregory Peck for a fascinating look at this oft-misunderstood American legend.
Directed by Lee B. Groberg, American Prophet: The Story of Joseph Smith leans on a strong ensemble — Megan Follows, Gregory Peck, Eric Artell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1999.
