The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has created an amazing video about the life of Joseph Smith called Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration.

Joseph Smith The Prophet of the Restoration has been produced under the direction of the First Presidency as part of the Church’s commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith’s birth.

The film depicts events in the life of Joseph Smith from his early youth in Vermont to his martyrdom in Illinois at age 38. It recounts Joseph’s search for truth as a young boy, a search that resulted in divine revelation that set his life on a path of service and sacrifice in restoring the Church of Jesus Christ. Through scenes of his interactions with family and with early Church members and others, viewers will see both the personal and public sides of Joseph’s caring nature and prophetic leadership.
