This was incredibly hard to watch. I'm a native Utahn and EX Mormon and I left the church partly over its history of polygamy and oppression of women and girls. No, the mainstream church isn't this evil, but if Warren Jeffs can spring from what it teaches, it was too close for me. I've seen what religious indoctrination can do and these women are so brave for getting out.
How any human being can treat others in this way is beyond my comprehension. May he rot in the depths of hell. I cannot imagine how one would overcome this kind of treatment.
It's beyond me how people can be brain washed to this extent in today's world. This documentary is absolutely eye opening and sad in so many ways. It actually makes you mad that guys like this can acquire so much power and how he took advantage of so many people. It's definitely worth watching but get ready to be shocked that this kind of crap goes on in our country. Warren needs to be in jail for the rest of his life. A complete idiot that needs to have his ass kicked.... Sorry but that's the way I see it.
As someone who's a millennial, I was too young when Jeffs was arrested, and as a European this story hasn't crossed my path before. The build up in this docu series is done in a smart way. It starts of absurd, as any religious fanaticism is to me. But you really get to understand how this happens to children born into this. It just gets more maddening and sickening, with the worst at the end. I was left shedding tears in anger of how this suffering exists in this world.
I am also convinced that this is still going on under Jeffs following to this day, which is mind boggling and disgusting to think of. Would have been better if they had ended the show with discussions on how to help end this.. and how to help survivors of this specific problematic sect type cultures. Also, I wonder with the records they found; have they prosecuted more of the men who married the underaged kids?
Other than that; well done Netflix, for showing the bravery of these victims in speaking up.

...also being abused by this freak of nature. It wasn't just little girls he was raping, but little boys as well. So I docked a few stars for that, there is zero mention of the boys: There are definitely documentaries about them, possibly on YouTube.
No ONE person with human emotions can handle any degree of extreme power. Look at so many examples, including those who supposedly are crusaders for justice (cough cough got any more homes for sale in Beverly Hills for the rest of us clowns who marched on your behalf?)
I'm convinced that there is nothing but corrupt people out there, all trying to convince the rest of us to follow some good path or cause: It's all garbage.
Religion is the same, evidently.
This is a really good documentary, I liked hearing from the people themselves...but again, I think the absence of all the little boys was a bit uncool. Little boys are just as helpless as little girls. They ALL deserve protection.
I cried a few times watching this: The women who lost all their children to that cult...KNOWING what is going to happen to them. If that piece of garbage sitting in jail (can someone just off him, ffs??) is telling all the old bald men to diddle the eight year olds...NOTHING changes!!
We need more infiltration. Normally I am one of those who feel that everyone has a right to their own world/fantasy as long as they keep me and mine out of it. But this sort of thing...? It's really hard to stay neutral about it.
