The Prophet Joseph Smith is dead, killed by a mob. Enemies of the young LDS Church think it will die with Joseph. In fact that danger is a real possibility. The crisis is undeniable, and the saints in Nauvoo are in chaos. Following in the successful wake of the feature film Witnesses (2021), The Interpreter Foundation announces "Six Days in August". That title refers to the extraordinarily important period in August 1844 when Sidney Rigdon and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, led by Brigham Young, stated their respective claims for leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints following the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. The Saints had never before experienced the death of a president of the Church; this was uncharted territory. The film introduces a young, much lesser-known Brigham Young with gifts, fortitude and skill-sets as well as a history of hard work, sacrifice and service that uniquely prepared him to lead at that exact time.
