In Emma’s Footsteps
You can’t judge Emma Smith if you haven’t walked a mile in her shoes. That’s the implicit message of “In Emma’s Footsteps,” a film that explores the life of the LDS prophet Joseph Smith’s widow in the aftermath of his martyrdom.
Told in flashback by the prophet’s mother, Lucy Mack Smith (Anne Sward Hansen), Brittany Wiscombe’s film draws on some admittedly scant history to re-create a series of events focused mainly in the first few years after Joseph and his brother Hyrum were killed by a Carthage, Illinois, mob in 1844.
