Season 1
Synopsis
Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (2022), Season 1 is a true-crime documentary you can watch online on iFILM — four parts tracing how Warren Jeffs rose to lead the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Former wives and relatives of Rulon Jeffs describe the closed world of Short Creek, where polygamy was simply how things were done. When Rulon dies, his son Warren takes over and tightens every screw — banishing prominent men, building an apparatus of surveillance, raising a vast temple on a Texas ranch. A private investigator and a local TV reporter are among the first to sound the alarm.
Built from interviews and rare home video rather than narrated commentary, the series lets the witnesses carry the story toward Jeffs's arrest and the headline-making raid on the ranch. Its real strength is the calm it keeps over brutal material. Stream Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey Season 1 online on iFILM.
