The Work and the Glory II: American Zion (2005)

In the chilling November of 1833, Missouri becomes a stage for an unfathomable injustice, turning a cold shoulder as hundreds of its peaceful denizens are forcibly uprooted under the shroud of darkness. At the heart of this brewing storm, a young visionary, guided by a divine revelation, dares to stand against the brutal onslaught led by an anti-hero scarred by a fragile past. "The Work and The Glory: American Zion" is an adaptation of Gerald N. Lund's acclaimed second volume of his monumental series, which has captivated over two million readers. It artfully intertwines the narrative of the fictitious Steed family with the historical truth of the Mormon people's arduous journey westward. The Steeds, divided by their individual responses to a budding ideology, strive to remain united as their convictions' intensity and their familial ties are put to the ultimate test. This gripping tale of faith that guided a persecuted group to Missouri and beyond is among the most heartrending, yet untold chapters of American history. It portrays a heroic struggle to exercise the rights pledged by a nascent nation. "The Work and The Glory: American Zion" uncovers the fervor that fueled a movement that eventually sparked the most significant American migration and the settlement of the West, inspired by a vision of a promised land in America. This film is not just a retelling of history, but a vivid exploration of the depth of human faith and resilience.

The Work and the Glory II: American Zion is a drama movie featuring Sam Hennings and directed by Sterling Van Wagenen.
