What happens when New York City meets Provo, Utah? A group of diverse Young Women, converts to the LDS Church, find out when they travel from New York City to attend Especially for Youth (EFY) in Utah for a week. But when they arrive at Brigham Young University they feel more out of place than ever. Different music, strange accents, and lack of common interests prevent the girls from feeling like they belong. Being at EFY feels just like being on a different planet. But little by little, things change. This ground-breaking documentary explores questions of conversion, culture, and the power of faith. It shows that through the gospel, people can come to interact and to love each other across challenging cultural boundaries and truly become Sisterz in Zion. This DVD includes additional scenes that weren’t shown on the BYU Television broadcast, including bonus features about the girls’ lives in New York and an extended ending discussing where they are now.
