Three Wives, One Husband (2014–2017)
5/10
Very interesting watch but skirted around child brides and pedophilia within Polygamy groups

This show sucks you in but I got a strong sense they only showed the viewer what they were ok with people seeing. They talked about people being concerned about the women and I believe most peoples concern was for the children. They showed the budding romance of two sixteen year olds but what about the 15 year olds forced to marry adults? In some polygamous groups they believe a young girl is ready to marry when she starts menstrating and they've been married off as young as 11 years old. It's called pedophilia and it was buried during the making of this film unfortunately. Also when the Chris character was shooting off a gun and all the men got together for a meeting I found it rather sickening it was just the men when women are usually inclined to protect children and not a single one was at a meeting to do with a man shooting a gun around their kids. And he mentioned that the girl he propositioned about being a sister wife was young and maybe that's why she was so upset, I was so curious as to know how young? It must have been young if they didn't say the age. Its difficult to protect children when they're raised to keep quiet and to please but what better way to make a victim or an obeying wife. I really hope for the best for the children.
