When did serving as a religious leader turn into a quest to have sex with as many underage girls as possible? That’s the question Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey attempts to answer in its four-episode docu-series centered on Warren Jeffs, former head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). This documentary draws you in as it explores the philosophies and teachings of the FLDS, Jeffs’ rise to power, the many girls forced to become wives and mothers before their time, and the families torn apart by his misdeeds. —Diedre Johnson
