Aired July 5, 2010 on BBC 4
Documentary which tells the story of three teenage boys who manage to escape a polygamist Mormon cult in Utah. As they struggle to come to terms with life in the real world, we learn about the extraordinary lives they used to live - in houses with many mothers, where their sisters may be married off at 14 and, surprisingly, where no-one can wear red in case it offends the Second Coming. Powerfully emotional and compelling, a fascinating insight to a community it's hard to believe exists.(Thanks to TreVelocita)
We are such monkeys still.
ReplyDeleteWhere else can this be viewed? It's gone from youtube.
ReplyDeleteI was asked politely but firmly by one of the film's director/producers to remove the videos from YouTube.
ReplyDeleteIt was only called 'Leaving The Cult' for the BBC4 broadcast, the proper title is Sons of Perdition - http://sonsofperditionthemovie.com/Sons_of_Perdition_Home.html
