The Mormons

I've read and heard some lately about the upcoming TV broadcast on PBS of a new documentary produced about the Church (of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). It's called "The Mormons" and is a co-production of American Experience and Frontline, the first joint venture of these long-running and popular PBS series. Being four hours long, it is scheduled to air in two parts, with the first two-hour segment to be shown on April 30 and the concluding half the following night, May 1. It strikes me as very interesting, definitely worth my time to watch and something I want to share news about. I've assembled a few helpful links below:

This is the web page created for the program on the PBS site. You should be able to find your local listings there.

An article I read yesterday that was originally printed on April 10, 2007 in the Deseret News : PBS's 'Mormons' is independent, church points out.

Lastly, here's the news release from the Church news site that is referenced in the DN article above.

Please post comments about anything else you have heard or read about this, or any thoughts you may have.

I can't wait until I have time to watch the second half! Then I can give you my fully informed opinion of it.
