'8: The Mormon Proposition' - Exclusive Clip Reveals Church Coerced Members to Raise Millions For Prop. 8 Campaign (VIDEO)
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints waged spiritual warfare with money and misinformation in an epic astroturf campaign against gay citizens, according to a new film by journalist and former Mormon missionary Reed Cowan. The film, "8: The Mormon Proposition," documents the church's historic involvement in the promotion and passage of California's Proposition 8 and the religion's ongoing campaign against same-sex marriage.
The film, narrated by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"), takes place in California and in Utah, where Cowan grew up. It uses personal narratives to illustrate how church leaders raised money -- by calculating how much church members should be able to give based on individual incomes and threatening to revoke the membership of those who didn't "donate."
