Synopsis Preacher Willard Bean becomes the world middleweight boxing champion in 1905, but when Mormon prophet Joseph F. Smith asks him to step away from the limelight and serve a five-year mission in upstate New York for the COJCOLDS, the Beans immediately pack their bags and travel to the East Coast. Once there, they find the hatred that existed for Latter-day Saints 90 years earlier is still alive and very present.
Film Background written and directed by famed LDS director, T. C. Christensen here on the right. He brought us such films as 17 Miracles and the Mouths of Babes. He founded the Visual Transit Authority which collaborated many times with the church to produce movies and shorts.
