Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The massacre site wasn't publicly memorialized until 1990, and the 1999 LDS apology only happened because descendants kept demanding it for decades.
The film premiered at Sundance the same year the LDS church finally acknowledged its institutional role — the documentary itself became part of the pressure.
