Lost and Found

If the season finale of “_Big Love_”:http://www.hbo.com/biglove/ has left you jonesing for your weekly fix of polygamist Mormons, check out “_CNN.com_”:http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/07/lost.boys/index.html’s story on Prophet Warren Jeffs’ “lost boys”—FLDS teenagers and young men who were kicked out of their community… some say so that the older men could have more/younger wives.

For more on the intersection of youth and fundamentalist religion, definitely check out the lost children of the Amish in 2002’s “_Devil’s Playground_”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293088/. It’s a fascinating look at the “year many Amish teenagers take off”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumspringa to experience all the secular world has to offer.
