8: The Mormon Proposition

The bumper sticker said it well: “Focus on Your Own Damn Family.� 8: The Mormon Proposition, reflects the efforts of those that created it and us that are in it, to hold OUR church accountable for the pain they knowingly inflicted on OUR families. The documentary IS NOT about disagreeing with their moral standards or their right to spend their money on issues they feel are important. It IS about hypocrisy; how our church (that says it is all about “being honest in our dealings with our fellow men�), knowingly created and funded dishonest ads to promote their own moral agenda; and (by their own admissions) hid their involvement. The Church stated in their own documents, that if the voters knew the extent of the Church’s involvement, it would negatively impact the vote. This documentary does not claim that the LDS Church did this alone, even though at its strong urging, its members (only 2% of the voters) donated over 70% of the money contributed and over 90% of the volunteer efforts. We would hope the displeased members of other groups, be they Catholic, Protestant, African American, Latino, Baptist…, would hold their leaders accountable as well. Please see it before you criticize it. It opens in selected cities June 18th, and on VOD. Available on DVD July 6th. Watch the trailer:
