Ms. Hudson, if you are so very eager to see a movie about a massacre, then why not watch the Work and the Glory movies, about how many Mormons were driven from their homes, murdered, tortured, tarred and feathered, etc., and never reimbursed by the government for their losses. The state of Missouri only recently gave out an official apology for governor Boggs signing the extermination order to rid the state of Mormons. Do you think anyone can put that part of history into a good movie? This movie is just in time for the elections, and once again, Mormons are misunderstood.
