September Dawn

September 11, 1857... 150 men, women and children were savagely murdered... Based on the true story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, September Dawn is a "gripping and fascinating" portrayal of the dreadful slaughter of innocent men, women and children in Utah in 1857.

As a party of settlers heading for California were travelling on wagons from Arkansas they came across a group of resident Mormons in Mountain Meadows... resulting in tragic and horrifying consequences.

The secrets surrounding who was to blame for this heinous crime and the conspiracy to protect his name and reputation have been kept hidden... until now.

    Not bad

    Obvioulsy the story around this tragedy was invented ,, however the massacre is real and since I had never heard of it before it made me research it which is always a good thing.

    Interesting portrayal of real event

    this was a good movie but could have been better. I don't know much about this real life incident but having now read a little about it I realise that this film gives a biased viiew - although certainly there was much wrongdoing on the part of the Mormons and in a way it sanitizes a horrific event in American history. It contains a love story which for me was slightly inplausable given the deep unyiielding beliefs at the the time. Generally the cast were good and carried the script - even the old timers Stamp and Voight played theiir parts with deluded conviction. I love cowboys films and the wild west so this was an enjoyavle movie for me. Wont win any oscars but worth a watch.
