The Search for Truth is a 41-minute film produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It explores the idea that science and religion are not incompatible, but instead are both means to coming to an understanding of absolute truth. The film is prefaced by a monologue from David O. McKay, then-president of the LDS church, and includes interviews with three prominent scientists: Wernher von Braun, the father of rocket science; Harvey Fletcher, the father of stereophonic sound; and Henry Eyring, prominent theoretical chemist. It also included several animations and historical anecdotes that illustrate the LDS position on the positive force of science.

The film reel is currently located at Brigham Young University, and is kept in cold storage as part of the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of the Harold B. Lee Library.^[1]
