Mormons on PBS

A four-hour documentary on Mormons will air on PBS this spring. "Award-winning filmmaker Helen Whitney has one over-arching goal for her four-hour production "The Mormons," I hope that most of the stereotypes — ideally, all of them — will be blown away." It will air April 30 and May 1st. "The Mormons" is not a film about Utah. Whitney traveled across the country, from New York to California; she sent a film crew to Ghana. Mormons are everywhere, and I wanted to make that point." It sounds like it will be very good, and fair. I look forward to seeing this on TV. PBS has aired a lot of things about the church. Recently, there was a documentary about the Willie and Martin handcart companies. Over the Christmas holiday season, PBS aired a christmas concert that was taped at the confrence center several times--I actually got tired of seeing it it was on so much.
