A feature-length documentary produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints itself, the first film the Church released commercially. Directed by Blair Treu and produced by Jeff Roberts, it follows the day-to-day lives of six Church members across the United States, Costa Rica and Nepal, including a retired Air Force colonel, a Naval Academy football coach, an engineer-humanitarian, a kickboxer, a bishop and a single mother, aiming to challenge stereotypes about the faith through their individual stories of service. It opened in select theaters on 10 October 2014, and net theatrical proceeds were donated to charity.
