Plot
Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs (2014) is an engrossing narrative that sheds light on the life of the infamous leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), centered in the heartland of Colorado City, Arizona. As the congregation reveres their prophet as the voice of God, the church thrives on the controversial practice of polygamy, seeing it as the highest path to eternal salvation.
When aging prophet Rulon Jeffs passes away, his son, Warren Jeffs, ascends to the leadership throne, casting aside the council's desire for a democratic vote. Despite the discord, a significant number of followers accept Warren as their new prophet, hanging onto his every word as if divine. However, Warren's leadership proves more volatile than his father's, his decisions more arbitrary and unforgiving. Even the slightest dissent can lead to excommunication, a fate dreaded by the young women forced into marriages before they are legally of age.
As Warren's reckless reign continues, his church lives under the watchful eye of Gary Engels, an investigator determined to bring the prophet to justice. Engels knows that to achieve his goal, he must penetrate the wall of silence built by the FLDS community, many of whom hold positions of power within the general population. To prosecute Jeffs for child abuse and sexual assault, Engels needs the testimony of the very congregation members victimized by their prophet's actions.
In this stirring true story, Warren Jeffs transforms from a revered religious leader to a fugitive, spending over a year on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted List". The charges? Unlawful flight and orchestrating illegal marriages involving underage girls. Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs (2014) is a gripping exploration of power, faith, and manipulation, where the shepherd becomes the wolf, and the flock must decide where their loyalties lie.
