Review of Three Wives, One Husband

The documentary promised I would change my perspective, for me it moved me in the opposite direction of what they intended. While I believe the documentarians did a fair job of showing the emotions shared by the "wives", the men came out to be spoiled kids, while the women did the vast majority of the emotional heavy lifting. It doesn't even become an issue for me because of the fact that I only approve of being married to one spouse. It's a matter of accepting something that is terribly selfish on one person's part, and has often proven to be abusive even amongst the women (Joseph Smith's own wife pushed his younger pregnant wife down a flight of stairs, and the younger wife miscarried). And the documentary glosses over issues that are key to what involves these parties. Gross financial deficiencies, physical and emotional abuses- all of which have a direct corollary with plural marriage. It is a "We'll make it appear that we are giving all sides a fair shake, but really we only want to share one perspective."
