What happens

Passage to Zarahemla is an adventure film directed and written by Chris Heimerdinger. It tells the story of a young pair of siblings seeking to find a new life following the abrupt death of their mother. Their exploits lead them to a relative's home in Utah and eventually a thrilling confrontation with their past and the merger of time. It is based partly on Book of Mormon people, including the Zarahemla of the title. This movie is based on the novel by the same name, originally published by Heimerdinger Entertainment in November 2003. The movie version of Passage to Zarahemla, was released to theaters October 15, 2007. Originally intended only as a film, the working title of this film was "Summer of the Nephite", but after unsuccessful attempts to gain backing for its production, the title was reworked and released in novel form as Passage to Zarahemla. The film ranked 4th overall in Utah the first week of its release. According to BoxOfficeMojo in December 2008, the film ranked 47th on the all-time highest gross box office for a Christian film and 69th for "Fantasy – Live Action". The film was released to DVD in June 2008. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
