A Victim of the Mormons (1911)
With Valdemar Psilander, Emilie Sannom, Carl Petersen, Doris Langkilde, Franz Skondrup, H.C. Nilsen, Nicolai Brechling, Otto Lagoni
Directed by August Blom
A Victim of the Mormons (Danish: Mormonens Offer) is a 1911 Danish silent drama film directed by August Blom. The film was controversial for demonizing the Mormon religion, and its box-office success is cited for initiating a decade of anti-Mormon propaganda films in America. It tells the story of an attractive young woman who is seduced and kidnapped by a Mormon missionary, then forced to accompany him to Utah to become one of his wives. The film became a hit, partly due to the popularity of its star, Valdemar Psilander, and partly due to the publicity arising from objections by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its failed campaign to ban the film.
