17 Miracles Trailers

As part of the Willie Handcart Company, Levi Savage (Jasen Wade) feared that leaving late in the season would lead to despair and death. What he came to find out is that for every tragedy, there is a multitude of miracles. Based on unbelievable actual events, and brought to you by filmmaker T.C. Christensen (Praise to the Man, The Work and the Glory), 17 Miracles will open your eyes to the stories of the Mormon Pioneers as you have never seen them before. Something extraordinary is about to happen.

One of the worst films I've ever seen, partly because the script was so poorly done and direction allows little from actors.

Growing up Mormon as a strong female was tough. Its not a faith of equality. For all that I liked the pseudo history of the movie.

This movie was very well put together. I am very well acquainted with the story of how my ancestors went through difficulties to arrive in Salt Lake City. I don't agree with them taking off too late in the summer. Levi Savage seemed to be the only sensible one in the group that knew what they would be facing. Why couldn't they have killed some of the wolves stalking them & used them for food. Surely they could have camped for 2 or 3 days long enough to cook & eat thereby replenishing their strength so they could go on without starving to death. I'm not criticizing the movie, just my ancestors for making such horrible mistakes which cost many of them their lives. I feel Brigham Young was also to blame for this travesty because it was his idea to bring people to the Utah territory with hand carts.

Job well done. This is a timeless story of a truly faithful and dedicated people who believed fully in their trek to the Mormon "Zion". It doesn't matter what faith you belong to, (or don't for that matter)to appreciate the sacrifice and suffering of these people. These progenitors laid a foundation of faith for offspring that are still basking in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ due to what they endured. I am one of these, and my heart swells with love for these people. I only hope that if I was asked today, what they were asked then, that I would answer the call with a heart full of that same faith that they possessed. Their documented stories prove that the Lord watches over all his children, and will, and DOES intervene in our lives. For this I am truly grateful, and forever faithful.
