A historic drama about the descendants of two brothers from Egypt battling for control in North America, sounds like the premise of an imaginative action film. But The Oath is not really an action film – its only action sequence comes very late in the film – but a romance/heroic drama based in Mormon (more properly the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) belief, by writer/director/star Darin Scott. Scott stars in and directs The Oath, and co-wrote the script with Michelle Scott. The Oath joins a long cinematic tradition of religious movies, a genre that has existed since the beginning of movies and includes films like Ben Hur. Like all cinematic retelling of religious stories, the greatest appeal is for members of that particular faith but The Oath seems like it might be aimed to a more general audience,...

On a Sunday afternoon in March, a group of 30 strangers huddle under a park pavilion in Salt Lake City, Utah, sipping hot cocoa and shaking hands shyly as snow clots the cottonwoods. A clean-cut gang of mostly white professionals, they are united by their interest in the Divine Assembly, a two-year old church with 3,000 members that considers psilocybin its holy sacrament.
The church’s co-founders, husband and wife Steve and Sara Urquhart, mingle quietly with the psychedelic-curious, many of whom are either new to tripping or considering their maiden voyage.
