Text from the back cover of the DVD:
"About two thousand years ago, the Ohio Hopewell built thousands of monumental earthworks in the central Ohio Valley. No one knows exactly why. Searching for the Great Hopewell Road explores new research into the mysterious legacies of the ancient Ohio Hopewell culture with unprecedented aerial video, animation, rare archival images and compelling interviews with archaeologists, historians, and Native Americans.
This one-hour documentary follows the investigations of Dr. Bradley T. Lepper, Curator of Archaeology, Ohio Historical Society. Dr. Lepper reveals evidence that Native Americans may have constructed a straight, sixty-mile long roadway between their two greatest ceremonial centers over two thousand years ago. Questions about the existence and purpose of this roadway take viewers on a journey of discovery through archival research, excavations, oral traditions and the new field of archaeoastronomy."

The DVD investigates an ancient 60 mile long by 200 foot wide leveled road between two ancient Hopewellian cities,
just as described in the Book of Mormon.
And there were many highways cast up, and many roads made,
which led from city to city, and from land to land, and from place to place. 3 Nephi 6:8
And the highways were broken up, and the level roads were spoiled,
and many smooth places became rough. 3 Nephi 8:13
It also demonstrates that the Hopewell people used lunar cycles just as indicated in the Book of Mormon.
And they gave an account of one Coriantumr, and the slain of his people. And Coriantumr was discovered by the people of Zarahemla; and he dwelt with them for the space of nine moons. Omni 1:21
