I had to grab the movie when I read the story line, draws a good parallel to todays terrorism in terms of the fanatic madness.
That's a bit of a ridiculous conclusion. There is no comparison.
While I don't know if the Mormons back then were fanatical, the reasons they had to keep moving further West was because other people threatened them and their lives. There were people back then that hated Mormons and Mormons were killed.
The US government at the time was also very anti-Mormon.
The ones that wound up in Utah got word that people were coming to kill them.
You can't base history on what you see in a movie.
