Movie Story


On September 11, 1857 in an unspoiled valley of the Utah Territory-and in the name of God-120 men, women and children were savagely murdered.

Who ordered the massacre, and why, has been hidden in a cloak of secrecy and conspiracy. And the reputation of one of the nation's mightiest religious figures has been preserved and protected.

Until now.

Based on actual historical events, "September Dawn" is a feature length drama that depicts the tragic encounter between a party of innocent settlers and a fanatic Mormon militia. The religious terrorism depicted in the film happened 150 years ago and resonates in many ways with acts of mindless violence occurring across the world today.

by Justin Chang [Variety]
“..succeeds completely at failure..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
“..the jarring MTV-style filmmaking is so distracting and the "messaging" so unsubtle..”
