Get the Fire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Get the Fire is a United States PBS-sponsored documentary, by the independent filmmaker Nancy du Plessig. It examines the experiences of some Mormon missionaries who questioned their religious beliefs after serving their missions.
Some Mormon missionaries, especially those serving missions in a foreign culture and/or environment, may begin to question their religious upbringing and belief system. Get the Fire examines these issues closely and presents a fair and balanced look at the experience of both young American and foreign-born Mormon missionaries, who served missions in foreign countries. Many of those filmed decided to leave the LDS church after a close examination of their missionary experience. As these changed Mormon missionaries struggle to reconcile their intense, religious experience with a new outlook on life, they realize their perceptions about black and white, dogmatic thinking have changed.
