Keep Sweet: Fans of chilling Netflix Mormon sex cult series should try this documentary

Viewers of the popular Netflix true crime series Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, which fans have called "traumatising" and "disturbing as hell", have been recommending more content for anyone who wants to know more about the fundamentalist Mormon polygamous cult-turned sex trafficking ring.

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is the story behind the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, a centuries-old Utah Mormon sect that split with the main church when they outlawed having multiple wives. Over the course of the four-part series, survivors recount how one man, the "prophet" Warren Jeffs, used his messianic power to force young girls to marry his faithful lieutenants.

The survivors retell how the Mormon splinter group told its followers that the only way into heaven was for women to be obedient and for men to hold at least three wives. Women were barred from education and could be married off by Jeffs at will to the men who kept him in power.
