Prophet’s Prey

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 ecclesiastical rape, befuddling the moral compass of his entire congregation. The film examines Jeffs' life and shows how he became a worshipped and adored Prophet with a devout following numbering in the tens of thousands - many of whom would give their lives at any moment with just one word from him. Despite a trail of abuse and ruined lives, Jeffs has maintained his grip on power.
