I love what these people are doing for others. I am disappointed I have to pay something to see this when I don't make enough to justify paying for any kind of tv service when I can get it for free. I literally can't even see the shows from last spring of 2019 because of this. I get up at 4am and yet I was GLUED to these programs. It altered my prayers for them.

What these three sisters are doing about the FLDS branch of the Mormon Church is eye opening. People need to really know what is done in the dark is always brought to light. And why Warren Jeffes is still able to run things from prison. That should not be happening.

I love this show, I never knew this type of stuff existed. I applaud these young ladies for the work they do. They need to set them up a fund for helping men and women who want to escape.
