| Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gather around a portrait of church patriarch Warren Jeffs in this still from Amy Berg’s documentary Prophet’s Prey. |
Since many of the estimated 10,000 FLDS members grew up within the church, helping them get out—apparently one of the missions of the film—is not a matter of deprogramming the brainwashed faithful. There is no prior emotional or psychological blueprint to which they might revert. Instead, Jeffs’ disciples are following a technically rational course of living that happens to flow from a first principle that others consider crazy: Their leader is a prophet with a direct line to God and the imminent ability to destroy them all.No Republican joke this time.
