The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepherd is a 67-minute film produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Testaments depicts the life of Jesus in Jerusalem while dramatizing the events described in the Book of Mormon from approximately the same time period. The film's climax occurs after Christ's resurrection, when Jesus appears in the Americas. The movie was originally shown in the Legacy Theater of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on a 62x31 foot screen and was shot with 65 mm film. It replaced Legacy: A Mormon Journey as the flagship Joseph Smith Memorial Building feature in March 2000. The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepherd has now been replaced in that theater by Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration, a film commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith, Jr.
