Forty years of faith, stone by stone — the epic you never knew you needed.
On July 26, 1847, two days after the arduous journey to the Salt Lake Valley - Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff and several of the Apostles went to the north end of the valley where President Young identified the location of the future site of the Salt Lake Temple. Five years later work began and the cornerstone was laid. For forty years the Saints told and sacrificed until the completion and dedication of the Salt Lake Temple on April 6, 1893.
Production
Period reenactments that actually look expensive.
Direction
Balances reverence with surprisingly human moments.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The temple's foundation was originally sandstone, then replaced with granite after cracks appeared — a forty-year do-over nobody talks about.
This 2008 release coincided with temple open houses resuming after renovations, making it essentially a very long, very pious advertisement.
