Too much dialogue from former members with a slanted view. I would have like to hear from "intellectuals" that were non members. Plus they did not focus on what the church is all about, only about the main controversies. There was not enough information from both perspectives on the argument. Like the church councils that were referenced, they did not explain how they really work and how 6 of the council represent the individual and 6 represent the church. They did have some good converts on but I still feel they missed the spiritual end of the story. — Travis G

I found the program interesting. I appreciated hearing the opinions and thoughts of each individual. I learned a lot more about some of those individuals than I did about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of them made certain choices that would lead them to unhappiness. And it seemed they would never understand or accept the consequences they brought on themselves.

After reading the Deseret Morning News article of May 2, I have to agree with Fred Woods, the religion professor at BYU. Time given to individuals was imbalanced. There was more time given to people who left the church or who had limited perspectives of the church. I also agree with Jan Shipps, a consultant on the project, that too much time and focus was spent on polygamy and Mountain Meadows. — no name

You asked for my opinion, so I thought I'd give it. My name is Cameron Harr and I am an active member of the LDS church and have been all my life. Overall, I thought the documentary was certainly comprehensive and showed a huge amount of effort had gone into it, but I felt it had two main problems that resulted in a bias slightly off center, away from the LDS perspective.

One problem that was mentioned in a DMN article, was that many principles and facts were removed from a spiritual context and thus appeared foolish or even malignant, such as the attention paid to polygamy and sex. One of the interviewees got it right, but she was outnumbered by many others who seemed to put it in a negative or evil light.

That brings me to the second point is that the number of outsiders interviewed seemed to greatly outnumber the views of insiders and they spoke as if they were authoritative on a subject matter, leading to confusion or misperception. That said, I think Ms. Whitney tried hard to present what she thought was a balanced production. Matching negative remarks with more context of situation and supporting views would have made the documentary significantly better I feel. Thanks. — Cameron H.
