Rating:  - What a propaganda piece!
I bought this DVD because I remember seeing the movie on TV when I was a kid back in the '60s. I wanted to see if it was what I remembered. And yes, it was...a great piece of propaganda for the Mormon (LDS) church.
I was a member of that cult in the 1970s. So I know what I'm talking about.

the story is a testimony to the latter day saints and the flight to salt lake city utah. how they struggled , but persued on to their goal

Considering that this movie was made in 1939 and 1940 it is an amazing achievement. The special effects are quite impressive for the time: The birds-eye view of the wagons leaving Nauvoo with the temple in center screen, Crossing the Missouri frozen river, Nauvoo homes and temple burning in the background across the river, all of the wagons and oxen crossing plains, rivers, climbing mountains, etc. But especially the near-final scene of the locusts and the seagulls (which were mostly all real).
