Day of Defense (2003)
An obvious attempt for first time writers and film makers
Day of Defense was more than good intentions gone bad, it was poor judgment and lack of experience by the filmmakers, terrible continuity, bad casting and very bad filming. The script was poorly adapted from a book; this isn't an unusual scenario in the film industry. The story was true so it wasn't all that far fetched, it just happened to a different religious sect than the Mormon's and was written by the judge that dealt with it.
Are Mormon missionaries hated and ran out of towns: every day. If this film shakes your testimony of the Mormon religion, you don't have a very strong testimony. If you found it ridiculous and boring, so did the rest of us, but so are a lot of other films.
I don't think that anyone was trying to make a political statement, I believe the filmmakers were trying to share their religious beliefs that there is a God who loves you, only it was so painfully and poorly done that the message never got through.
I wouldn't recommend the film even on the most boring day, I know that it can't be found right now on video for whatever reasons, and I hope it stays that way. But if you accidentally see it some day....it certainly shouldn't shake anyone's faith in anything....after all, it's just a movie!
