About this movie

8: The Mormon Proposition exposes the Mormon Church's historic involvement in the promotion and passage of California's Proposition 8 and the religion's secretive campaign against gay rights. As California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 languished in the polls, Mormon Prophet Thomas S. Monson issued a call from Salt Lake City to millions of Mormons all over the world. His was an order to action - containing the secret code language of the highly secret Mormon temple ceremony - commanding Mormons both inside and outside of California to do all things necessary to insure the passage of California's Proposition 8. Within days, hundreds of thousands of Mormons all over the United States funneled thirty million dollars in to California to ensure the passage of Proposition 8. It wasn't until the California Fair Political Practices Commission launched an investigation into the Church's involvement did the secrets of the Mormon effort become a matter of record.

Ratings and reviews

This documentary is very Well done and very accurate. Those on here that love it one star are Active Mormons who don't know anything about the religion. Being an ex-mormon I can tell you the LDS(MORMON) CHURCH lies to it's members and the world. Ask any of these people how their church was started then look up a scholarly viewpoint anf you will know What I mean. This documentary gives an Hines viewpoint of how horribly they have treated the Gay Community. This is What destructive. Cults do.

Just want to point out that it was not just Mormons who supported this proposition. Plenty of other churches, including the Catholic church, funded, campaigned, knocked doors, and spoke out against gay marriage. It's not just Mormons who believe the bible is correct in saying marriage is between a man and a woman.

Why don't you also just make a movie about why it was still leagal to kill mormons on the spot not so long ago? We are not the only church thst doesn't agree with gay marriage. It doesnt change the way I feel any the people because half of my family is gay. I don't agree with it because its not what God wanted us to do otherwise it wouldn't be a commandment. Look up the facts yourself. Dont listen to people just because they have some knowledge in history. Seriously this is just to add more hate...
