What was the persecution really like? The opening scenes give you an idea. Why did the Church break into different groups? The movie helps you understand that. What was it like to flee Nauvoo? You get an idea from the movie, although the actual exodus from Nauvoo took months (and for some people years), rather than the one-night panic the movie portrays. My one quibble with the movie was the whole scene of Brother Brigham basically making up a revelation to get his way. I doubt very much that took place.
