This is a real documentary from someone who has lived it. It's a very rare glimpse into the secretive world that few experience. Laurie Alan is a surviver and her film BANKING ON HEAVEN is a testimant to what she herself has lived and escaped. Polyamy is still alive throughout the new west today and this film shows the harsh truth of what happens on the inside. It is an honest and eye opening work, and an inspiring piece of filmmaking.
