Synopsis:

Jane Treays offers a close inside look at the lifestyle of Utah polygamist Tom Green whose face became familiar on television news as he awaited prosecution for having multiple wives. Inspired by the teachings of Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, the practice of polygamy is illegal in Utah despite some 50,000 practicing polygamists in the state. The film brings revealing insight into the practice of polygamy as Jane Treays draws an extraordinary portrait of the outlawed Mormon lifestyle. Seen through the eyes of Tom, Linda, Shirley, June, Lee Ann, Cari and Hannah, One Man, Six Wives takes us inside their Utah desert compound and details the everyday reality of their lives. While their choices are alien to most of us, there is an undeniable fascination with how it all works. The Daily Telegraph wrote: "Jane Treays has fashioned yet another excellent film, giving her subjects time and space, from behind the camera came incendiary questions".
