A Victim of the Mormons premiered at the Panoptikon Theater in Copenhagen, Denmark on 2 October 1911.
One week later, on 10 October  1911, it was released in London.
Before the release of the film, the Nordisk Film company ran a heavy advertising campaign.
They distributed sensational programs which declared "Extraordinary Exposure of a Terrible Doctrine!"
and "This exciting and effective modern drama, which reveals the Latter Day Saints ruthless propaganda, is one of film's great international successes."

Advertising in film trade papers declared the movie would achieve record-breaking ticket sales.
The trade papers followed suit with sensational headlines including "This Great Winner Creates a Record Booking," in Bioscope magazine and  the film "Has No Equal As A Money Maker" in the American trade Motion Picture News.

The movie was publicly condemned by leaders of the LDS Church in Europe and America.
The church presidency complained to the American National Board of Censorship, demanding that all references to Mormonism in the title and content of the film be removed.
However, the LDS campaign to censor the film failed when it was released without changes.
Utah governor William Spry said the Danish filmmakers were "only exceeded in their perversion of the truth by their absurdity," and banned the film in the state of Utah.
That effort also failed and the film was shown without alterations in Utah theaters that year.
The movie proved to be enormously successful internationally, not only because of an effective promotional campaign which emphasized the attempted ban, but also due to the popularity of its star, Valdemar Psilander.

By the time A Victim of the Mormons was released in the United States in February 1912, several other films featuring Mormon antagonists were already being readied for release.
The new titles included Marriage or Death and the Mountain Meadows Massacre by the French studio Pathé Frères, The Mormon by the American Film Manufacturing Company, and The Danites by the Selig Polyscope Company of Chicago.
During the following decade, the output of anti-Mormon propaganda films flourished with Mormon villains portrayed variously as white slavers, mesmerizing Svengalis and ruthless terrorists.

Only approximately thirty minutes of A Victim of the Mormons has been recovered and preserved from the original 35mm film stock.
The remaining footage has been transferred to 16mm and video tape.
A copy is on file in the LDS Church archives in Salt Lake City.
