Prophet's Prey is a sharp investigative documentary that dismantles the coercive power of the FLDS. It shifts the focus from religious tradition to the lived experiences of those exploited by patriarchal authority. The film's strength lies in its portrayal of leadership as a tool for corruption rather than divinity. By centering the victims, it provides a powerful critique of institutionalized abuse. However, the documentary lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities and provides no data regarding racial or ethnic diversity.
