Massacre (TV Hour)

By Lyle Parsons

In 1850s America, a group of fanatical Mormons in Utah Territory trigger the War of Armageddon with the United States and end up committing one of the most violent atrocities in American history: The Mountain Meadows Massacre. A true crime thriller that plays as a dark satire on America's current political climate.
