Un-Aired Details From the Cast of “Escaping Polygamy” | Where Are They Now? (2024 Reunion)
Manage episode 483917944 series 3378740
“Escaping Polygamy” was a hit international tv show that ran from 2014-2019 following a small group of ex-polygamous cult women who helped others escape their polygamous cults on camera. @TheAmandaRaeGrant continues to help women who have escaped, by hosting an annual retreat in Malibu for connection and community. We were lucky enough to be invited and spend time getting to know these amazing ladies. While there, we got to film with most of the cast of the show (Amanda, Andrea, Jessica and Shanell) and talk about their experiences while filming, behind the scenes and the aftermath.
