He is also facing felony sex charges for his alleged role in arranging underage marriages in Arizona.John Rudolf of Havasu’s Today’s News Herald described “Damned to Heaven” as “gut-wrenching and heartbreaking." “The film goes past the headlines and charts the long-lasting emotional and psychological damage inflicted on women and girls forced into early polygamist marriages. Or as one female survivor says in the film: ‘If that is what heaven is, then I accept hell.’” View the trailer! |
