A short documentary film about 19th-century Saxons who settled in rural Missouri, sowing the seeds for one today's largest bodies of Lutheranism

Synopsis

From the untold history of America's largest early immigrations, this half-hour documentary tells the story of 19th-century Saxons who settled in rural Missouri. Unprepared for the harsh conditions of America in 1838, and dismayed by the scandal of their leader Martin Stephan, they persevered to sow the seeds for one of the world's largest bodies of Lutheranism today.
