The Inside Story of
Warren Jeffs' Polygamist Cult

BANKING ON HEAVEN is the inside story of the largest polygamous enclave in the United States, written, produced, and narrated by Laurie Allen, who escaped a similar polygamous sect at age sixteen.

While the media sensationalize this story, BANKING ON HEAVEN takes you INSIDE, takes you where no one has gone before, revealing what happens behind closed doors at the YFZ Ranch (Texas) in Colorado City (Arizona) and Hildale (Utah).

Beautifully filmed and at times difficult to watch, BANKING ON HEAVEN exposes a primitive culture that mocks our Constitution, enslaves thousands of women and children, and uses mind-control and fear, clearly violating democratic and human rights.

In the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints), women are chattel and young boys are kicked out so older polygamous men can have sex with young girls. Everybody does what they’re told, because the prophet, Warren Jeffs, is God, and everybody’s salvation is at stake. Warren Jeffs is now serving two consecutive terms of 5-years to life in Utah for rape as an accomplice in the arranged marriage of a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin. He has more trials coming up in AZ this year.

BANKING ON HEAVEN reveals the corruption, the legislatures failure to help, the Mormon Church's role, and the plight of innocent members of the FLDS polygamous sect.

BANKING ON HEAVEN is the deep story behind the headlines. While politicians brag about liberating the women and children of Afghanistan and Iraq, BANKING ON HEAVEN asks who is going to liberate the women and children of Colorado City.

"How can you say these are consenting adults when they have no education, no exposure to the outside world, and polygamy is the only life these women have ever known?" — Carolyn Jessop

Warren Jeffs' Sister Speaks Out:
Featuring, for the first time on film, an exclusive interview with Warren Jeffs' sister, Elaine. She speaks passionately about her experiences in the FLDS, her reasons for leaving, what motivates Warren, and what needs to be done about the situation in Colorado City. Particularly suspenseful and heart-rending is Elaine's description of her desperate escape with her children, and the children she had to leave behind.
