BYU TV New Series Granite Flats – Not ‘Mormon Specific’

by | May 1, 2013 | About Mormons

It’s probably something most people weren’t expecting. BYU TV is perhaps best known for broadcasting talks from leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (often inadvertently called the Mormon Church), as well as the General Conference of the Church.

It’s known for educational programming and well done mini series on historical topics, like the Bible.   But in 2013 BYU TV brought out a new program that puts an entirely new spin on their programming.

Granite Flats Mormon‘Granite Flats’ is a new fictional series about a small town in the 60’s near a Colorado military base. Interesting characters begin to be presented immediately in the pilot.  Teachers, mechanics, nurses, little kids and parents just to name a few.

In the Recessive Dystrophic form of EB the faulty genes are involved in the production of a type of collagen, a strong protein in the fibers that hold the deepest, toughest layer of your skin together. As a result, the fibers are either missing or nonfunctional, according to the Mayo Clinic. It is estimated that only 1.5 people in a million have this form. (more…)
