Polygamy in America
An intimate look into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), one of America's most secretive Mormon sects, renowned for practicing polygamy. The church was founded in the early 1900s by dissidents who left the Mormon church mainly because of the issue of plural marriage. The church gained international notoriety in 2006 with the arrest of the leader, Warren S. Jeffs, on charges of arranging unlawful marriages between adult male disciples and underage girls. In 2008, the FLDS ranch in Eldorado, Texas, was raided by the authorities.
