In the late 90’s, there was a strange case unfolding outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. A fundamentalist named Thomas Green had been practicing polygamy for years and he was telling the world all of his families secrets. He and his family appeared on some of the most popular day time television shows, where they would answer questions and defend their lifestyle. And he believed that if people could just see what his family was all about, they would change their minds about polygamy. But instead, the world was horrified by the details surrounding the so called marriages between Tom and his wives. And now all of the disturbing secrets of Tom Green’s cult-like family were on display for the world to see.
