This is part of a series of Church History movies I am viewing. This movie tells the stories of the restoration of the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods. In 1839, as Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery translated the Book of Mormon, they came across scripture talking of the need for baptism. However, at that time they did not have the authority to baptize, so they took to nearby woods to pray. They were close to the Susquehanna River. John the Baptist appeared to them, and confirmed the priesthood on them. They then baptized each other in the river. This movie also presented Peter James and John and the restoration of the higher priesthood. It concludes with Boyd K. Packer talking about the importance of having the proper authority.

The first ten minutes of this movie show the same video minus the Boyd K. Packer addition.
