Lisa Ling is a fantastic journalist. Her empathy and understanding is so peaceful.

[staciehahn]

I love Lisa Ling! She can take an awkward conversation and make it seem totally comfortable. The husband talk when she says “I get that” 😂😂😂

[Ji_un_park]

Wait, this guy is a teacher but at age 18 he drew a picture that looks like a two year old drew it?!
Love Lisa Ling and her informative, compassionate and authentic documentaries ❤

[robinnewman]

Why wouldn’t a journalist ask how a man supports three wives and 15 kids on a teacher’s salary?

[Alesya]

I am trying to understand..: but just can’t… the idea of my man making love to another woman under the same room is way too painful…

[LighthouseLover]

She says the problems started over a loaf of bread,
but their problems actually started way before that. Bread isn't even the biggest issue here. 🥺💔♀️💪

[karrieclinton]

I would love to see an update on all these women and families. I wonder how they’re doing today

[mariacasella]

She said “this is the way God lives?!?!wow these women and kids are brainwashed

[sarac]

Lisa: "....you were actually relieved to have another woman take care of those get that". 😂

[WineSaladFrenchFries]

The second guy with 15 kids is 42?!?! 😱 I'm 39 and he looks like he could be my dad!

[Stephanie-kkoh]

The second guy literally made the hair on my arms stand up🫣😬😵‍💫

[Thedrisin]

Give these women more options. They think this is the only way to live because it’s all they’ve ever known. Do they really have choices?

[kimberlyterenzoni]

I was not comfortable with Michael. Seems his first wife, Rose, is just so sad.

[robinh]

This is the way God lives? This is what happens when men reduce God to his level 😢

[JulieReade]

Lisa Ling, you are a talented journalist! Most documentaries such as this have an obvious distaste for people’s beliefs and lifestyles. You weighed the pros and cons and left the viewers to think for themselves. Bravo to you for showing the world what real journalism is!!

[beautifulplaces]

That creepy Math teacher guy wants to become a god by marrying a lot of wives and having a lot of kids but he doesn't seem to be concerned if he can provide love to his kids.

[peonypower]

Amazing how easy it is to make people believe a variety of absolutely crazy things.

[catherinecox]

How are all these large families financially supported? These homes are large with many mouths to feed and dad is a school teacher? That’s all I kept thinking throughout this documentary.

[livingdreadgurl]

I don’t think Americans can’t accept polygamy, it’s the underage children/brides we took issue with.

[carmelgraham-williams]

I've read a book about a woman who was forced to marry who lived in this community. Just because it looks pretty on the outside does not mean women are not subjugated and abused.
