This fall is no exception. Here’s an early look at the latest documentaries and other programming you can watch on KSL October 4 and 5.

Saturday, October 5

9:30-10:00   History of the Saints 

The Joseph Smith Papers are a wealth and treasure of understanding. It is one of the most significant historical works of our generation. Many volumes have been released and more are coming in the years ahead. All of this work serves to affirm the faith of the Saints. Just released is the newest volume in the Documents Series—Documents Volume 9.

It is different than previous volumes because of the short span of time it covers and is a wealth of information. If you have had questions about the origins of the Relief Society, or Joseph Smith as a Mason, or of the Prophet’s many and varied roles of leadership in Nauvoo—then this program will be of great help to you.

In our upcoming "History of the Saints" documentary, explore the latest volume of the Joseph Smith Papers – the origins of the Relief Society, Joseph Smith as a Mason, his many, varied roles of leadership in Nauvoo, and more. Watch Saturday at 9:30am. pic.twitter.com/9xddnLKrhL

12:00-1:00    Amish Latter-day Saints: Blending Two Worlds into One

By Angie Denison
A moving story about love, loss and sacrifice. When three devout Amish families decided to change religions and become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints their close-knit Amish community chose to shun them. That isolated them from family and friends and altered nearly every aspect of their lives.

The three families struggled to adjust to their new reality without the support of all that was familiar to them. Despite losing family, friends and businesses, they found peace as they worked to redefine themselves. It was their new-found faith and friends that gave them courage to endure the painful shunning and face the unknown.

They learned the value of forgiveness and resiliency as they sought for ways to blend their Amish heritage with their new religion. This documentary takes an in-depth look at their faith journey.

12:00-1:00 p.m.    Anchored in Faith: Stories from the South Pacific

By Angie Denison
When members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the South Pacific Islands heard their prophet was coming to visit, excitement filled the air. It had been years since they’d seen a prophet in person. However, Saints in these areas have been faithful for generations.

Their conviction to their beliefs has sustained them through both the trials and triumphs of life. We share the stories of some of these people and the impact the visit from President Russell M. Nelson had on them.
