Trust Me documentary premieres on April eighth, delving into the life of Samuel Bateman, leader of a polygamous sect that splintered from the FLDS church. Bateman, convicted for sexually abusing underage brides, built his secretive group in Colorado City, Arizona, by positioning himself as the new spiritual leader. The film reveals how he controlled his followers, enforcing strict rules in isolated compounds. A Utah couples undercover work led to Batemans arrest and the rescue of victims, but their identities were later exposed, putting them at risk. The documentary features firsthand accounts from women who escaped and offers new insights into the sects operations and the pursuit of justice.
