She didn’t go looking for this. It found her.

When Tawni stumbled into the world of polygamist communities, she thought she was documenting a fringe lifestyle. What she uncovered was far darker: a system of control, silence, and abuse hiding in plain sight.

In this episode, Tawni takes us inside polygamist communities, where women and children are exploited, and taught that suffering is sacred. With courage and compassion, she shares the raw truth of what it takes to expose the abuse—and what it costs the people trying to escape.

Key Moments:

• How Tawni’s accidental investigation turned into a life mission
• The horrifying patterns of abuse few are willing to talk about
• Why “choice” is an illusion in these communities
• The emotional and practical aftermath for survivors trying to rebuild

This is more than a story of injustice—it’s a call to action. Tawni’s work reminds us that change starts when one person refuses to look away.
