Synopsis

Sons of Perdition is a “penetrating, insightful and riveting documentary” (Huffington Post) which takes viewers inside the lives of three teenage boys after they escape from the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound on the Utah/Arizona border, the oldest polygamist community in the United States. Part of a growing group of exiles, the boys are condemned to hell by their community and denied further contact with their families. The courageous boys must survive on their own in mainstream America, which for them, is a whole new country.
