Follow the Prophet

Follow the Prophet is an American film that was written by and stars Robert Chimento, which was created to show how polygamist lifestyles affect the children involved. In the film, a young girl escaping from a polygamist cult is aided by an U.S. Army colonel and a renegade sheriff who join forces to save an even younger girl from a secret "marriage" to the cult's leader.

Plot
On her 15th birthday Avery Colden (Annie Burgstede) discovers from her father (David Conrad) that she is to be given as a secret bride to the new prophet (Tom Noonan) of a religious cult. She escapes with the help of army Colonel Jude Marks (Robert Chimento) and a renegade sheriff (Diane Venora). When they find out that her younger sister is chosen to take her place as the secret bride they join forces to expose the truth that lies hidden in a town in Utah. Marks calls in favors from the military and Washington but even that may not be enough to help them fight the deeply secretive cult. ==Production==
