Emma’s Pearls

When we tell the youth “Church History,” they yawn. We don’t have a history problem, we have a storytelling problem.But what if it sounded like their playlist?The KING of NEW YORK is not a lesson.It's a cinematic uprising.A hip-hop musical oratorio about Joseph Smith - and his explosive 1844 run for President of the United States, where he proposed a six-year plan to abolish slavery. Historians called it political suicide. He never made it to the ballot; becoming the first U.S. presidential candidate to be assassinated.Orchestra. Hip-hop. Theater. Film.Faith and American history told through a lens this generation will actually press play on.This is bigger than a show.It's a cultural moment.Live premieres. Faith-based streaming. Scholastic & Educational screenings. National & Global dialogue.We are building a small circle of Kingdom-minded sponsors to bring this to the big screen at scale.If you feel called to help build something history will remember.
