Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black was in Salt Lake City for a premiere of “Under the Banner of Heaven” on Monday night, and, to all appearances, he was a happy man — except when it came to “a certain paper here in the Salt Lake Valley.”
Actor Sam Worthington, writer-producer Dustin Lance Black, actor Tyner Rushing and actor Andrew Garfield pose for photos at a premiere event for the FX/Hulu miniseries "Under the Banner of Heaven," at Salt Lake City's Broadway Centre Cinemas on Monday, April 25, 2022.
The FX-produced miniseries about the horrific 1984 murders of Brenda Wright Lafferty and her 15-month-old daughter, which starts streaming Thursday on Hulu, is “not an easy show,” Black acknowledged. “It’s not something you step into without some thought, without knowing that there might be some pushback.”Miniseries about the Lafferty murders can be tough to watch, but worth it.
“Under the Banner of Heaven,” which was “inspired” by Jon Krakauer’s book of the same title, is the story of Ron and Dan Lafferty’s journey from mainstream Mormonism to fundamentalism and murder. And it relates the murders to violence throughout LDS history. Black said that in the decade he spent working to bring “Under the Banner of Heaven” to the screen, he “became something that is far more dangerous than anger in our faith. I became curious. I am not angry. I am asking questions.”
