In January 1979 John Singer, a hard-working, self-reliant Utah farmer,
was shot and killed by a state law enforcement officer during an arrest
attempt.
His death came after six years of conflict with the courts
over his insistence on educating his daughter at home, in accordance with
his Mormon beliefs.
John Singer clearly broke the state law, but was
the principle worth dying for?
A powerful examination of the events,
after which Singer's wife filed a lawsuit through famed lawyer Gerry
Spence against Utah officials, including the Governor, in a landmark
case of parents' rights, and a loving family man who died in a fight for
personal and religious freedom.
