Howard W. Hunter: The Modern Prophets
2014 · 1h 0m · History, Drama, Documentary, Family
Skip it unless you're deeply invested in LDS Church history—this is a niche biographical documentary that preaches to the converted rather than offering broader dramatic appeal. Even for the target audience, a 9-month presidency doesn't exactly scream cinematic urgency, and the reverent tone suggests you're watching institutional hagiography rather than compelling drama.
Plot
Four days before his wedding, Howard William Hunter, 24, played his last engagement as a professional musician. From then on, whether as a successful corporate attorney, church leader in the Los Angeles ares or apostle of the Lord, Howard's life was dedicated to serving others. His focus on temple service began as a young bishop and carried through to his presidency as he challenged the Church membership to increase temple worthiness and attendance. His tenure as the 14th President of the Church lasted only nine months, but he left a wonderful legacy that blesses us today.
