Very well executed

Strictly average movie

Instant Favorite.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

oh my gosh! This show! wow. How amazing and how brave for a show like this come along. It horrifies me that Polygamy is still going on in this country. It disgusts me! The real women in this who had the courage to get away from that terrible, terrible environment amaze me! and it amazes me that they want to help so many others escape as well. I still cannot believe that these disgusting men haven't been to jail yet. My hope is that because of this show that these men go to jail for life and that they never see the light of day. This is brainwashing to the max!! And when they help people escape from their rooms, my heart races because I want them to get out as soon as possible without getting caught! I will always love this show and I love the message of the show too.

Would you send skinny 19-21 year old girls onto cult compounds that isolate, marry and rape children to "rescue" victims?? Apparently A&E thinks that's a awesome show idea... I would not be surprised if the personal stories were based on reality, but the mercenary work by the girls is just obviously fake and staged: lots of close calls with anonymous cars driving by but not engaging trespassers or b-roll footage that pretend to show a certain event unfolding but could simply be absolutely nothing. As I said the personal tragedies may be real, but the rescue phases of the show are staged. Time to figure out this was fake: 1 episode.

Believe it or not, polygamy is still happening in America. This program shows how three sisters from polygamy help others escape Kingston clan, a subset of The Mormons. Bill Kurtis did an episode about the Kingstons and their secretive order. The Kingstons are like the FLDS but without prairie dresses. The Kingstons are a dangerous sect run by men who marry young girls to old men without a choice. If I was one of these girls, I would run as fast as I can. One of the girls had $60,000 in a Kingston Bank and they would only let her take $5,000 at most. The sister escaped to Seattle where another sister attends law school. The Kingston clan has already sent somebody to Seattle to bring her home. The Kingston clan is a cult of many secrets like the FLDS.

A lot of reviews have mentioned the blatantly scripted dialogue and less than stellar acting. This is obviously based on real experiences so if these are reenactments, present them as such. This show leaves me with too many questions. These women were traumatized, where's the professional help? There has been mention of some turning to substance use and the response was "its OK to cry". Interview a lawyer who can talk about the legal implications and rights they have. If this were set up in more of a documentary style, viewers may not feel their intelligence is being insulted. Polygamous cults, not sure how prevalent they actually are, have evidently damaged many lives and are led by a few likely rich and powerful sociopaths. These women (and the young men) do have important, interesting stories. Please do them more justice.
