I'm sorry for that crude analogy above but this documentary is just a staged sabotage of Mormonism to promote an agenda. The creators of this film have created many other anti-Mormon films. It's their agenda.
This film's description proports this to be a dialogue between a Christian and a Mormon but that is not an accurate description. Basically the filmmaker has prepared a series of targeted questions aimed to trap the unsuspecting defendant, recorded interviews of scholars defending his argument, and then spliced in an "interview" with a lay member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints (aka Mormon Church), who is not allowed an opportunity in advance to know what questions will be asked, nor provided any time outside of the interview to present a well organized response, nor allowed any Mormon scholars to assist him. Clearly some of the responses from the Mormon are not scholarly. They are just the first thing that comes to mind, in that moment, and many are in response to leading questions aimed to trap him in his words. Then they are followed up by a scholar to discredit the response. It's a completely unfair presentation. It's like watching a court case where the prosecution presents their arguments, picks apart the only witness (who is highly coercible and has not been prepped by the defense council) then the case is closed, without any case presented by the defense council.
This is a staged production, where the film creators control the stage. There's no attempt to have a balanced discussion where both parties are on equal ground.
If you really want to form your own opinion on Mormonism, then spend a hour and a half reading the Book of Mormon, rather than that same amount of time watching this film.
