I have the video and I watch it quite often and have found it to be remarkably accurate for the period. Mr. Berenger if a perfect choice for the part. Although one of the reviewers errantly listed Brigham Young as founder of the Mormon Church, the movie is great. I would gladly recommend this movie to any and all who is interested in early American history. The period dress is accurate and the persecutions that the Mormon people were suffering is amply displayed as well as the needed response to those persecutions. Charleton Heston is a wise choice for the part of Brigham Young and supposedly was the only choice of the director and producers.
