The Testaments: of One Fold and One Shepherd
The message of this film is that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all mankind.
While in Jerusalem, the Savior told His followers, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold: and one shepherd" (John 10:16).
Shortly after His Resurrection, Jesus Christ appeared to the people in ancient America as recorded in the Book of Mormon. To these people He said, "Verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd" (3 Nephi 15:21).
WHAT IS THE BOOK OF MORMON?
The highlight of the Book of Mormon is the record of Jesus Christ's appearance to the people of ancient America. After His Resurrection in the old world in the Old World, He appeared to these people, taught His gospel, healed the sick, and showed them how to live by his example, as recorded in the Book of Mormon.
The Book of Mormon is an inspiring and powerful witness of Jesus Christ. Reading the Book of Mormon will bring you joy, hope, and the power to live more righteously. The Book of Mormon will increase your faith in and love for Jesus Christ.

@Doliath move on and search other sources of history . You are being taught only pieces and what the government wants you to know . public schools don't teach everything or anything that conflicts with darwinism . the public library has everything written and uncensured !

Just to clarify, no one knows exactly where all this happened, it even said that in the beginning of this film. So to blatantly say it was The Mayans is kind of presumptuous dont you think?

@Doliath
There are many thingswe are not taught in History classes, as in all the other classes.
We are taught what it is felt we need in order to fit into the work sphere.

Hebrew words in abundance has been found around what is Guatemala and Belize today.
In 1512 the Spanish found the Maya and destroyed 99% of Mayan hieroglyphics, because they considered it blasphemy that their records claimed a "WHITE BEARDED GOD" appeared to them and taught them. There are four hieroglyphics left for study today. And they have Hebrew similarities too!
This is why!

Why are you so certain they were Mayan? Where does the word "Mayan" appear in the Book of Mormon? If the Mayans were in ancient times Nephites, why does no record exist at all within the oral tradition of anything within the Book of Mormon?

The MAYA not AZTEC. JESUS CHRIST appeared unto the PRE CLASSIC MAYA at their temple.
The people in the region of the Yukatan peninsula practiced sacrifice, circumcision, baptism and other rights associated with the Israelites.
