Director Gary Rogers's multi-volume film is an epic, cinematic retelling of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' sacred book, the "Book of Mormon", which recants 1,000 years of Mormon history. Volume 1 of the movie covered roughly the first 50 pages of the text. Volume 2, which begins 250 years after the events of Volume 1, centers on the stories of Mosiah I, Benjamin, Mosiah II and King Limhi and his peoples.
