Witness Docs presents Unfinished, an investigative anthology series digging into America's unfinished business. Season 1, Deep South, produced in collaboration with Market Road Films, brought us on a journey into the Arkansas Delta to investigate the lynching of Isadore Banks. Season 2, produced with Critical Frequency, takes us to Short Creek, a community on the Utah/Arizona border divided by much more than a state line. Season 3, produced with Scripps, explores dual loyalties and hidden histories via the story of Ernest Withers, one of the most important photographers of the 20th century -- who was both a Civil Rights Movement photographer and a FBI informant.

I don't generally like this type of programming, but you guys had me hooked from the very first episode. I've completes the first two seasons and beginning the 3rd soon. the hosts are amazing to listen too and compelling. I'll be honest, the two women hosts sound so much alike I could not tell them apart. this wasn't a problem, I just found it interesting. they both presented the series so amazingly well it was like one narrator. you guys really do a great job. you made me interested in things I never cared about before. that's quality reporting. thank you for the program.
I hope Warren Jeffs is "Keeping Sweet" in prison. Hope he's not complaining while getting fucked in the ass.

Wow this FLDS lady Norma has swallowed Jeffs propaganda hook line and sinker! Just because she believes her fellow believers are good people therefore her prophet must be too?! Yep, never ever has a spiritual leader abused his power and position...arrrggghhhh!! Maybe her policy of ignoring the "outside" world has contributed to her incredible ignorance? How else can she sit there saying that the court evidence was all doctored and faked. She uses the fact that abused children didn't testify as a reason not to believe anything else that came up in the trial?? I just can't ..... 🤪🤬🤯
What a strong person Elissa(sp?) proved herself to be! The determination and fortitude she showed is incredible, facing both her former 'prophet' and her abuser in court would have been terrifying. How amazing she is, I hope her life now is joyous & her future is filled with wonderful beautiful days.
is there a way to get the bonus eps without stitcher premium? I've done the one month free about a year ago. But i dont have the money to afford premium right now.
This series was beautifully done and speaks not only to how this community is healing but how our country needs to approach healing g through love. thank you for your work here.
Wow. Just wow. What a powerful way to finish telling this story.
This series was much more interesting than the Dateline episodes and it Short Creek. It's focused on the people and the rebuilding of the community and it's fascinating.
I can't even imagine being so brainwashed that I'd believe a pedophile is a prophet instead of a devil. Truly disgusting
Thank you SO MUCH for this season. I binged it all, and had so many feelings.. There is still so much work to do, by all of us, and podcasts like this and the work you're doing are so important.
Good background history to the FLDS on this episode.
This is a fabulous season of #Unfinished. I live in Salt Lake and there are several sects of Fundamental Mormons which practice polygamy. The women and children live in fear of their fathers going to prison if they speak of their home lives. Because of this fear, this leads to some of the husbands and fathers being abusive and it being unreported so their family has no recourse. As well, so many families are not financially supported by the husbands, which is great if that is what is the agreement between the husband and wife. However, because of the large number of children the women often are unable to work subsequently causing the families to need CHIP, EBT Card money, etc on which, in my opinion, must be very hard for them to survive with any feeling of security. I believe polygamy is an a extremely hard life for women (and men really). The indoctrination begins from birth. If one chooses to leave they lose not only their entire way of life as they know it but most often their
So frustrating that she will protect the the act of child marriage. So many girls were married and forced into sex. 😡
Oh, sure, I have to go to the most sinful places to "witness" this sin. sure, prophet.
this podcast brings little things to light that make me realize how much some ex-FLDS members changed after they left.
why arent you calling these people what they are??? PAEDOPHILES. absolutley disgusting religion
Man, people do some wild things to other people in the name of the Lord! Good podcast! This is interesting stuff.
Having lived in Utah for a spell, and being non-Mormon I've sought a better understanding of the religion and culture. This explains so much and gives even greater understanding of FLDS religion, culture, lives, losses, & court cases.
I have wanted to visit the memorial ever since I first read about it and saw pictures. Now I will go this fall because it feels like a friend is there. I will put a flower in front of his plaque. I am glad his family found some peace at the memorial. I wish they could have also found justice. Thanks to the reporters who worked on this so long and tried their best.
