    4/5 Very good movie
      by P. Ross
    My husband and I knew what this movie was about before we watched it, but I must say that we still weren't prepared for the deeply disturbing ending.
    The movie was presented very well; adding the love story helps to draw you into the story. I thought the acting was excellent on all counts. The portrayal of the Mormon religion and its belief in "blood atonement" is quite accurate according to books I have read on Mormonism.
    Most people are unaware of the violence associated with the Mormons' history.
    The ending is upsetting to say the least - to see all those people murdered because of vengeance, fear & hatred is gut-wrenching and brings back the sorrow from 9/11/01.
    When mankind acts on its own without divine influence - this is the result. The Bible tells us that we are born with sinful natures and the only remedy is to accept Jesus' sacrifice of love - His death on the cross. Without that - man sinks down into depravity & evil actions - that is exactly what happens & what is depicted in this movie.


    5/5 Excellent movie
      by Connie Lineberry (Virginia)
    This movie was a history lesson for me, as I do not remember ever hearing about this in school. It is a jawdropping sort of movie and you wonder how this could have possibly happened.

    5/5 Excellent Historical Perspective
      by S. James (Washington, DC)
    This film offered an interesting, fact-based perspective on the westward expansion, as well as the inherent secretiveness of the Mormon cult. It was well researched and performed. Even if you're like my husband, a mere "cowboys and Indians" genre fan, you will find this film an interesting adventure, and you'll pick up a history lesson as well.

    5/5 Amazing
      by Parent
    Great movie. Though now that I live in Salt Lake City - it took me a while before I heard of it. I hope that it is getting more press/exposure outside of Utah. Important movie that should be seen.


    4/5 Movie review
      by Linda High
    DVD came if find shape.

    Movie was very violent, but unfortunately mostly true. Morman church still makes excuses and cover ups for their brutality today.

    September Dawn Summary Academy Award® Winner Jon Voight, Terence Stamp And Trent Ford Star In This Film Based On The True Story Of The Mountain Meadows Massacre, The Brutal Murder Of 120 Men, Women And Children On September 11, 1857 As Their Wagon Train Passed Through Utah On Its Way To California. The Question Of Whether The Attack Was Carried Out By Local Paiute Indians Or By A Renegade Sect Of The Mormon Church Remains Unresolved To This Day. Set Against The Breathtaking Beauty Of The Utah Mountains, september Dawn Explores What Might Have Happened When The Ill-fated Settlers Stopped Near Cedar City To Rest Before Completing The Last Leg Of Their Journey. Local Mormon Bishop Jacob Samuelson (voight) Is Suspicious Of The Group, So He Dispatches His Oldest Son Jonathan (ford) To Spy On Them. Jonathan Soon Falls In Love With An Angelic Member Of The Wagon Train, The Minister's Daughter Emily (tamara Hope), And Is Horrified When He Discovers That His Father Thinks The Settlers Are Enemies Of The Church And Is Planning An Attack On Them. While Jonathan Makes Plans To Escape With Emily, His Father Sets In Motion A Chain Of Events, Fueled By Revenge And Fanaticism, Which Culminates In A Violent And Tragic Ambush.

    September Dawn is an unusual hybrid: a love story, a Western, a historical drama, and a statement against religious intolerance. The fit between the four parts is uneasy at best. Christopher Cain (Young Guns) begins in 1877 as Utah governor Brigham Young (Terence Stamp, making no effort to disguise his British accent) presents his side of the story. (The director's son, Dean Cain, cameos as Joseph Smith.) The narrative then returns to 20 years before: A Missouri wagon party seeks permission from Bishop Jacob (Jon Voight) to rest on his land for a fortnight before continuing to California. Jacob gives his consent, but comes to regret his hospitality; after all, the state of Missouri forced his people to flee in order to practice their religion in peace. Then his son, Jonathan (Trent Ford), falls for the "gentile" Emily (Tamara Hope). Jacob becomes convinced the travelers will corrupt his entire community if he doesn't take action, so he negotiates with the Paiute tribe to execute the lot of them, leading to the Mountain Meadows Massacre of September 11th, 1857. On that date, as many as 140 settlers were killed, some by Native Americans, some by Mormons. Though the movie may have been made to "set the record straight," it seems more likely to offend modern-day members than to provide catharsis for descendents of the victims. Suffice to say, September Dawn was not produced with the support of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
