Inside Bountiful: Polygamy Investigation

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Winston Blackmore leads Bountiful, the polygamist community in British Columbia that has drawn Canadian police attention for decades, and this film gets him on camera defending a lifestyle that has cost him criminal charges. Cameras follow daily life inside the settlement, an offshoot of Mormon fundamentalism where Blackmore has taken dozens of wives and fathered more than a hundred children, and interviews probe the line between religious freedom and exploitation. The film sits with Blackmore's own justifications, his family's routines, and the arguments of Canadian authorities who see the arrangement as systematic abuse of women and girls. Former members and officials add the outside view, describing arranged marriages involving teenage girls and the pressure to stay silent. The question the film keeps returning to is the one in its opening line: is this faith, or is this a crime being run in plain sight? It closes without a tidy verdict, leaving the community's legal status as unresolved as it has been for years.
