This traditional historical documentary tells the story of Latter-day Saint John M. Browning, who designed guns for Winchester, Colt, Remington, and other companies. Jonathan Browning, John M's father, was a Mormon pioneer and John's gun shop was located in Ogden, Utah.
Nominated for an Emmy
This was Groberg's breakthrough film before switching to more identifiably LDS content. It is not billed as an LDS film, but Browning was LDS.
