ESCAPING POLYGAMY
In each one hour episode of
Escaping Polygamy, sisters Andrea, Jessica and Shanell who daringly left The Kingston Clan, a powerful polygamous
group
based in Salt Lake City, Utah, known as “The Order”work, with friends
and strangers alike who are in various stages of leaving polygamy to
help them escape too. Their first-hand knowledge of the struggle to
leave and adjust to the outside world make them the perfect advocates
for others looking to leave. However, as more polygamous sects become
aware of the girls’ mission, the more they are despised by those
faithful to the religion making escapes increasingly dangerous.
This
season, in addition to helping members from The Kingston Clan, the
sisters help followers of other polygamous groups escape, including
those in The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
,
and the Apostolic United Brethren. The many people who reach out to
the sisters for help throughout the season include, an elite Order
leader’s daughter who wants to escape an impending marriage to her older
cousin; star-crossed lovers who want to leave the restraint of the
strict FLDS religion to be together; an AUB father looking to save his
children from the painful world of polygamy; and the son of infamous
FLDS prophet, Warren Jeffs, who needs help finding his mother whom the
religion tore away from him as a child.
The path out of polygamy
is not an easy one, and those who dare to leave face challenging
emotional obstacles. Largely shunned by their family and friends, there
is often temptation to return to the only world they know, to avoid an
overwhelming sense of isolation. It is through the continued support
and guidance of Andrea, Jessica and Shanell that these people rebuild
their lives to create a new sense of family.
Escaping Polygamy
is produced by RIVR Media. Executive producers for RIVR Media are Dee
Haslam, Rob Lundgren, and Lori Stryer. Jennifer Wagman serves as
executive producer for Lifetime.
