One Man, Six Wives And 29 Children (Polygamist Documentary) | Absolute Documentaries

This absolute documentary explores the marriage between Thomas Arthur Green - a fundamentalist Morman - and his five wives living in the Utah desert. Tom is 51 and has 29 children with 26 of them aged 12 years and under living at "Green Haven" in Utah. More people than ever are practicing polygamists, but the whole of America has now focused on Utah's 'dirty little secret' and many polygamists are desperately trying to keep their multiple marriages under wraps. This documentary explores the roles, values, and difficulties posed by living in such an unorthodox manner.

It’s sad that this man explained the female reproductive system to one of the wives on her wedding night. That girl was failed by so many.

[LaDoesALot]

He sold them so many dreams.. he promised big closets and big bathrooms and flowers and benches while they literally lived in dumps.. so sad.. he manipulated young girls and isolated them..

[laurarudolph]

I am sorry but the mother daughter thing is creepy and gross. This is sad. Seeing these young girls who have known no other way of living or life .. How will these kids meet someone if no outside world contact...

[NotWhatIamMadeFor]

The little girl who helped to bury her brother was completely showing signs of unresolved trauma. She was choosing her words carefully and listening to her one could tell that this wasnt a subject that gets discussed often. She hadn't dealt with it.

[crimsonclover]

That poor lad in love with the young girl his dad wants to marry...what a nightmare place to live/grow up in.

[sammyinbrooklyn]

This is so horrifying. A master manipulator. It’s like he preyed on not too smart people.

[bodybykenni]

I get a thrill watching her walk by!
Camera pans over to a girl LITERALLY dressed like a catholic school girl 😳
The irony is staggering 😂

[crystalphillips]

You were not women when you married him you were a child.

[lynnehampton]

What a monster he is. The Mother and Daughter both married to him sickens me. He marries these poor girls when they are still babies . He needs to be locked up.

Update on wives: most of them seem to be active on some social media’s. It appears that Hannah and Leeann have both remarried and are in happy monogamous relationships. The other wives from what I could find (couldn’t really find much about Linda kunz, but then again only really looked for like half an hour totally for all of them) are all happy in more modern lifestyle and might have remarried as well (didn’t spend too much time looking into them, but they seem happy) It seems that they are all still in some sort of contact (through social media likes and rare mentions). I’m happy that they all seem to be thriving and enjoying life with their children, they seem to have adapted well to life after Tom green. (Also side note, I found information to two other previous wives to what we see in this doc. June and Beth, they were significantly older than the wives we see here, june even said during an interview in 2001 that she and Beth felt like outsiders as they were old enough to be the younger wives mothers. It appears that June is also still in contact with most of the wives in this doc. I did not find any info to show that Candice ever married into the family, so I don’t think she did. Also interestingly Tom actually shared a monogamous marriage with his first wive, can’t remember her name, and he had three children with her. From what I found the split bc of his decision to practice polygamy and he lost contact with his first three children - he believes “the lord blessed him with so many children to overcome his loss of relationships with his first three.” His first wive later died due to suicide)

Just looked this guy up and he died last March. He was prosecuted in 2001, but paroled in 2007.

[vanessa]

All of this is so creepy. Sorry but 14 and 15 year old LITTLE girls DO NOT know what love is! This is nothing short of abuse! Sorry not sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️

[britf]

So telling that he consistently refers to his wives as girls. Not women.

[ChronicallyCassidy]

They’re literally in the middle of nowhere.

[starryeyes]

The mother and daughter thing chills me to the bone🥶

[seebertha]

They never explained where that mother who married her daughter's husband, where her husband was, the man who was her daughter's father. Imagine having to have respect for your mother and also in competition with her as a woman.

[victoriapressley]

Did he really call Candace MATURE??? She still giggles like a 12 year old and couldn't even answer a simple request to tell them about herself. SHE HAS YET TO EVEN FIND

[nicolee]

the boys girlfriend is CANDICE. the dads next wife. wtf. being ex Mormon and seeing all this happen right outside my home makes me sick. they are still doing this today.

[LonelyGirl]

Seems like polygamy is a free pass for predators. How ironic that he chooses very young children and their moms. Creepy

[SilentSteve]

He died last year, February 28, of COVID-19.
