Prophet's Prey (2015)
When Warren Jeffs rose to Prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, he took control of a religion with a history of polygamous and underage marriage. In a short time, Warren managed to expand these practices and the power of his position in unprecedented ways. He bridged the gap between sister wives and ecclesiastically rape, befuddling the moral compass of his entire congregation. The film examines Warren Jeffs' life and shows how he became a worshipped and adored Prophet. Warren has a devout following numbering in the tens of thousands - many of whom would give their life at any moment with just one word from the Prophet. Despite a trail of abuse and ruined lives, Warren has maintained his grip on power.

    Some crazy lunatics out there...
    All I can say is if you hurt kids or take away their childhood, you have no place in society. This guy is a complete nut job inside and out... how many lives has he destroyed is the big question. Yeah sorry bruh any religious beliefs that say you need to marry kids doesn't come from God. Jail is still to good for this guy crikey... documentary is good and worth watching but it's gonna piss you off a bit so get ready for that... NUT JOB is all I'm gonna say but give it a watch and you judge for yourself. Crikey.
