Appalling Documentary

Amy Berg crossed the line by airing the horrendous audio footage of Jeffs molesting one of his "wives".

They should've taken the lead of a real filmmaker - in Grizzly Man, where they showed the reaction of someone listening to horrible audio for the first time, and having someone else provide a clinical analysis of what occurred after having listened to it. All without subjecting the viewers to the footage itself. I think the makers of Prophet's Prey should be ashamed, and the critics at large should be equally ashamed for not calling them out on it.

There are clearly no true standards when it comes to documentary "film"-making.

You make it sound as if they showed the video footage. It wasn't as explicit as I expected from the description of it. It was sickening, though.

If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

I don't think they played even half of the recording. If they did, a lynch mob would go after him. The sickest thing of all is that Warren's other "wives" were helping while this little girl was being raped. His favorite wife "Naomi" was in the room every, single time he raped a kid. These children were given to Warren by their own parents. This is how brainwashed these people are. The documentary was well-made, because it really goes to great lengths to show you how sick & perverted these people really are. Warren Jeffs is the biggest pedophile I have ever read about.

This was captivating, I started watching 20 minutes into it and was surprised these people live so close to me. Warren Jeffs is a very Disturbing monster & still has full control over so many.
