Joseph Smith (1805-44), the founder of the Mormon Church, is profiled. "When so many were looking for answers to questions larger than life," says narrator Gregory Peck, "[Smith] said that he had them." But many disagreed, and the life of "Brother Joseph" - as chronicled here in readings, re-creations, and comments by historians (some of them Mormons) and LDS officials - was marked by frequent flights from enemies.
