Somewhere along the line, the makers of this movie forget that Emma Smith never "endured to the end." She left her church. She denied historical events within her church happened, where she was there as witness, and she later denied them.
She founded her own church, setting up her son as the President of that church.
She sold off historical materials from her husband's life and mission for money, rather than giving or selling them to the church that should have had them.
The movie does not depict her reaction to or participation in polygamy, as it would show what type of a shrew the woman really was.
To paraphrase an actual quote, Joseph Smith once told Brigham Young that he'd go to hell for Emma. Brigham's reply was something like "you'll probably have to." This was a horribly inaccurate movie from Emma's descendants. It is even less accurate than the "Work and the Glory" series and actually makes those awful movies seem watchable in comparison. Don't waste your time.
