Brother Joseph Again

I went in curious and came out moved. Though we may never know for certain, the filmmakers lay out the case carefully. The locket's chain of custody, the comparison against Joseph's death mask and skull. By the end, I found the evidence compelling that this is a real daguerreotype of Joseph Smith.

What stayed with me wasn't the forensics, though. I've spent most of my life hearing and learning about Joseph Smith. Seeing what may be his actual face felt different. It made him feel like more of a person to me. That was a genuinely special experience, and one I didn't expect.
