The Mountain of the Lord is a 72-minute film produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It depicts the story of the building of the Salt Lake Temple in a fictional encounter between a reporter and Wilford Woodruff and was produced for the centennial of its dedication. The film shows the struggles of early Mormons to build the temple -- which took 40 years to complete -- in the Salt Lake Valley, where church members arrived in 1847.

The film was shown in connection with the April 1993 General Conference.[2]

Production

Parts of the film were shot in Provo, Utah.[3]
