"Journey of Faith," completed over a five-year period in Israel, Jordan, Yemen, Oman and Guatemala, is being presented to audiences for the first time on all five nights of Brigham Young University's Campus Education Week, which begins today.
The documentary's estimation of the course traveled by the Book of Mormon prophet Lehi and his kin is based on the best research available, said S. Kent Brown, a BYU professor of ancient scripture who is featured in the film and will present it to Education Week attendees.
Brown said the film -- to be marketed on DVD in Utah and elsewhere later this year by Covenant Communications -- was made primarily for Latter-day Saints, but that he believes it might be of interest even to viewers with no connection to Mormonism. "We think we've done our homework well enough," he said, "that anyone could watch it and find the account to be believable, or at least credible." :duh
