An Article Of Faith: Mormonism, Fascism, and the Third Reich

Trailer: An Article Of Faith

22 Apr 2025

Description

In Nazi Germany, a young Mormon bureaucrat named Friedrich discovers that his comfortable role in the system makes him complicit in genocide. When his best friend David, a Jewish convert to Mormonism, faces persecution after defending his father during Kristallnacht, Friedrich must choose between religious obedience and moral courage. Using his position in the Reich's bureaucracy, Friedrich forges documents to help Jewish families escape while Mormon Church leaders turn their backs. 'An Article of Faith' examines the dangerous intersection of religious authority and fascism, revealing how institutions claiming moral authority can become instruments of oppression when preservation outweighs principle. Based on the documented collaboration between the Mormon Church and Nazi Germany, this powerful historical drama asks: When does bending to preserve your institution become breaking your covenant with God?
