POLYGAMY'S LOST BOYS follows three young men as they struggle to survive in a world they were raised to believe is wicked. The boys are members of the Fundamentalist Mormon Church, which holds as its core belief: the more wives a man has on earth, the higher the celestial ladder he climbs in heaven. Most often the young, often teenage, girls are assigned in marriage to church leaders. So do the math: if one man has 8 wives, stands to reason, young men have none. They are effectively cast out of the only world they've ever known, like Peter Pan's lost boys. They're marooned without family, without social skills, with little education and no role models. Polygamy's Lost Boys captures the boys' struggles to find their way in a modern world and to re-align their hearts and minds to another belief system: "We aren't really going to hell, are we?" <45mn 28s>
