Produced and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jane Treays, this film explores the marriage between one man - a fundamentalist Morman - and his five wives living in the Utah desert. Although Utah outlawed bigamy when it joined the United States, it is estimated that around 30,000 people live in such relationships. More people than ever are practising polygamists, but the whole of America has now focused on Utah's 'dirty little secret' and many polygamists are desperately trying to keep their multiple marriages under wraps. This documentary explores the roles, values and difficulties posed by living in such an unorthodox manner.

This film was first broadcast: 09 Dec 1999
