”September Dawn” graphically dramatizes the controversial real-life massacre of 120 men, women and children traveling through Utah in the nineteenth century. The Mountain Meadows Massacre, as it is known, occurred on September 11, 1857, and was the first known act of religious terrorism on U.S. soil. A group of Mormons, many disguised as Paiute Indians, slaughtered all but 17 small children on a wagon train on its way to California. One man, the adopted son of Mormon leader Brigham Young, was eventually executed for the crime—20 years after the event. Woven into this real-life background is the Romeo and Juliet story of a young Mormon man who falls in love with a beautiful girl on the wagon train.

The trailer is so full of crap, I can't believe you have it posted on your webpage, without some sort of comment. It wasn't the first know act of religious terrorism on US soil. Has nobody heard of the Salem Witch Trials? Hans' Mill Massacre? Pretty much all of the whole history of the church in Missouri? That's not terrorism? I'll tell you what this is... it's a Hollywood Assualt against Mit Romney. "He's Mormon... he'll order a massacre just like Young did in that movie that must be true, otherwise they wouldn't have made it!" Gah!
