September Dawn ( *** 1/2) John Voight directed by Christopher Cain
This is a beautifully shot pre civil war western depicting one of the most outrageous incidents in American history. The massacre of a wagon train by a community of Mormons. Jon Voight is brilliant. Just knowing the theme I left the film on the shelf for over a month but fell into its grip and let the tragedy of the situation sink in. Like a good listen to Bob Dylan's With God On Our Side, this film will disturb and provoke you but you will be glad you viewed it. the extras are worth a view..interviews with the decendents.
