Their polygamist leader and central character of the show, Warren Jeffs is currently serving a lifetime prison sentence for child sexual assault.
The series follows his disturbing rise to power where he convinced his followers that he was a ‘prophet’ and forced them to obey his strict rules.
Women were made to pray on the hour every hour and all members were completely forbidden from going to or knowing anything about the outside world.
Not only this, Jeffs had a reported total of 78 wives with whom he fathered many, many children.
Disturbingly 24 of his 78 wives were underage girls.
As one FLDS wife explained in the documentary’s trailer: the group believes that “the more wives, the more children you have, the higher in heaven you’ll be.”
In 2008, federal authorities raided the infamous West Texas’ Yearning for Zion Ranch.
Over 400 children were also taken into custody, with law enforcement agents finding evidence of sexual, physical, and psychological abuse.
