Only part of the real-life drama involving the disappearance and killing of 22-year-old Gabby Petito played out in Utah, but a Lifetime TV movie about Petito is scheduled to film here this summer.

Andrew Garfield as Jeb Pyre in Episode 3 of "Under the Banner of Heaven."Midway through the run of the FX/Hulu miniseries “Under the Banner of Heaven,”I have to agree with series creator/showrunner/writer Dustin Lance Black –haven’t actually watched the miniseries. They’re criticizing Jon Krakauer’s book, which “inspired” it.

I’m not a big fan of the book. I’m no historian, but in my opinion, Krakauer molded the narrative to fit his sketchy theory.featuring Joseph Smith, Emma Smith, Brigham Young, Orrin Porter Rockwell and other historical figures, as well as events like the Haun’s Mill Massacre and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. And, at least through the first five episodes, that’s the weakest part of the show — if only because it tough to follow unless you’re already familiar with the history.

The case Black is making is that the church’s history led to attitudes among many male members that women are second-class citizens. And that those attitudes — built through a century and a half of LDS history — were part of the thinking of the killers, Ron and Dan Lafferty.before their excommunications. And their attitudes intensified after they became fundamentalists.

Certainly, many will disagree with Black. But the most devastating part of the “Under the Banner of Heaven” narrative is the low-key misogyny we see in so many of the male church members. And that, for those of us old enough to remember the mid-1980s, seems so true to the period. Contrary to what at least one critic believes, the LDS Church does not forbid the consumption of French fries.
