A Pioneer Miracle focuses on LDS women in this movie, more specifically an event in childhood that was to profoundly impact the life of one little girl.
This film was done with a loving hand by T.C. Christiansen who along with many others involved is a descendant of Belle Richards the protagonist of the event. As a child she disobeyed her father and took her even younger brother on a hike to get to a picnic she had long planned to go to, but her father Dennis Saylor forbid it for lack of room in the family buckboard.
Children obey your parents is the lesson of the film. But in this case if you believe the account some heavenly intervention saved little Caitlin Meyer playing Belle and Kellet Cook playing a three year old Joe Richards from a rock slide that either would have killed them outright or pushed them into a lake to drown. But as Paul Harvey used to say, that's not the end of the story. The real story is how in her adult years she interpreted this story which got itself into family lore and the lore of the Mormon Church.
Very nicely done short film, a tale simply told and wonderfully acted by young people who came off as real kids not Hollywood kids.
