"The Mormon" (9 p.m., PBS): The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is widely misunderstood by outsiders. Its history is as overlooked as it is turbulent and inspiring. Now the PBS series "Frontline" and "American Experience" join forces for "The Mormons," a four-hour documentary portrait of the church's remarkable creation, its transformation from a fringe sect into a thriving religion, its rigorous tenets, and its contemporary challenges. Devout Mormons believe that in 1827 in Palmyra, N.Y., 21-year-old Joseph Smith dug up a set of golden tablets that contained the seeds of a new religion. He said he was guided to the spot by an angel appearing in a vision. This led him to the founding of the church, and to a cross-country odyssey where three communities -- in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois -- were established in turn, only to be abandoned after clashes with their neighbors. In Illinois in 1844, Smith was killed by an angry mob, whereupon Brigham Young led the faithful on a harrowing journey to the Great Salt Lake area. There, in what would later become Utah, the Mormon Church claimed a lasting home. Today Mormonism is one of America's fastest-growing religions, with as many as 240,000 converts annually thanks to the global outreach of its youth missionaries. "The Mormons" traces that transformation from the status of outcasts to mainstream players in U.S. culture and politics (with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a member of the Mormon church, now actively seeking the Republican presidential nomination).
The two-part film airs today and Tuesday at 9 p.m.
