The polygamist community of Bountiful, British Columbia, has once again come under the radar of the RCMP, with law enforcement looking into the legality of plural marriages in this religious commune. Winston Blackmore, leader of Canada’s most famous polygamist community, invites us to discover what life is really like inside Bountiful as he offers a unique perspective into his faith and community.
Since the early 90s, investigations have been carried out by the RCMP in regard to these controversial marriage practices but so far only two people have been charged and no one has been convicted as a result of legal challenges that question the constitutionality of such laws.
For those interested in gaining insight into this long-standing issue, an upcoming documentary offers viewers a glimpse into Winston Blackmore’s world and his beliefs. It examines the complex nature of polygamy and its implications on those who partake in it while also highlighting some of the struggles faced by Bountiful’s inhabitants. The film promises to be an informative look at both sides of this debate that has seen little resolution over the years.
It is an opportunity to get a better understanding of how this lifestyle works in practice and gain new insight into why it continues to persist despite being illegal in much of Canada. With exclusive access inside Bountiful and interviews with those closest to Winston Blackmore, this documentary is a must-watch for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating topic.
