The voice-over says it's an 'actual event' as recorded in The Book of Mormon - that text did not appear until the 19th Century. For many people outside of what they call The Church who doubt where that book came from or any claim that the chapters are really actual events in the Middle East almost 2,100 years ago, it's a leap of faith into un-belief for other Christians where Latter-Day Saints have simply appropriated the symbols of religion from more established believers

In the wilderness, Lehi has a vision filled with symbolism that includes the tree of life. In his vision he struggles for some time in the dark before finally making his way to the tree. He eats or partakes of its fruit and desires his family to do likewise. He sees a rod of iron, a strait and narrow path, and the mists of darkness that enshroud men. Sariah, Nephi, and Sam eat the fruit, but Laman and Lemuel refuse.
