Mormon Candidate: Mitt Romney & The Mormon Church

The Mormon Candidate was a 2012 BBC documentary that looks at the Mormon religion and the effect being a Mormon will have on then Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The film is presented from John Sweeney who we know from investigating another fringe religion in Panorama : Church Of Scientology. Sweeney first looks at the history of the Mormon church which was founded by Joseph Smith circa 1830. The church has a growing membership but is trying to rid itself of some of the stigma associated as a result of former practices such as Polygamy.The documentary does look at Romney's connections to a church were he was a preacher and how it would effect a run for presidency but in many ways it's a film about Mormonism in general.
