Powerful documentary about a cult and its tyrannical leader

The Showtime Amy Berg documentary Prophet's Prey tells the horrific of the abusive, tyrannical, megalomaniac leader of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints, Warren Jeffs, now thankfully behind bars though his influence apparently lives on through his equally sick brother. Everything about this film is creepy - and seldom seen except in glimpses of the women in their 19th-century farm clothes that sometimes make the news after a raid or mass arrest. We get lots of inside footage - though never in close-up of course - of the cultish, polygamous outposts that Jeff built in Utah, Col., SD., an Texas, plus interviews with several who left the church (none with people still in the church of course), and powerful footage of recorded evidence submitted at Jeffs's trial and recordings of some kind of jailhouse deposition in which he sounds just strange and ruined. The big mystery at the end is: how could this man, so obviously disturbed and weak, have exerted such power over so many people, abusing children (of both genders), stealing $ for his own gain. The church will remind most viewers I think of Jim Jones, and it seems Jeffs and his cronies have so destroyed and even enslaved the church members that they probably would die at his command. Anyone who's driven through southern Utah will have a sense of the lay of the land and of how there could be all kinds of pockets of polygamy and abuse in the small, unwelcoming communities in that region. All told, Berg et al do a good job getting enough access to tell this difficult story - we get a sense that they were often threatened and endangered and maybe still are; my only quibble is that the narrative is needlessly difficult to follow, as it jumps back and forth in time and never lays out a clear, definitive chronology. Perhaps this should have been a longer series, a la Making of a Murderer, to really lay all the facts out w/ clarity.
