Curiosidades

Deseret is a 1995 experimental documentary film written and directed by James Benning and narrated by Fred Gardner. It chronicles the history of Utah from 1852 to 1992 by having the narrator read 93 news stories from The New York Times in chronological order over static shots of Utah. The title refers to the original proposed name for the state of Utah, the Jaredite word for "honeybee" in the Book of Mormon.

Production

In preparation for the film, Benning spent six months reading every New York Times article about Utah he could find from the founding of the newspaper in 1852 to 1992. After choosing which ones to use in the film, he spent another three months condensing the news stories to a length of eight to ten sentences each, while retaining the original language.
