DOCDAY: Philip and His Seven Wives

http://www.sundancechannel.com/blocks/docday During a midlife crisis, British messianic rabbi Philip Sharpe believes he communicated directly with God. Sharpe says he learned he was a Hebrew King, and as a Jewish patriarch he is entitled to seven wives. Filmmaker Marc Isaacs's captivating and intimate documentary visits Philip and his wives at their unconventional home in a quiet suburb, where daily life revolves around devotion to the Torah and obedience to the head of the house. "A disturbing, intimate study of low-key madness, denial and ritual humiliation" — Financial Times.

New DocDay films every Monday on Sundance Channel.

I watched this movie and I have 2 say that this man is horrible not only 2 his wives but 2 his animals. This has nothing 2 do with love or with god and everything 2 do with his ego.....

Sounds great.

How did he talk the other 6 women into it?

You hit the nail on the head with that one. For all the misogynists who think it would be awesome to be allowed multiple wives, it would only mean that the large majority of men would have none at all. A risky gambit.

Our population are made out of 50/50 procent male + female. It alway been that way. By taking more wives other men have nothing, which creates tention and lead to of all kind crimes, making women more victums, by getting raped by these unmarried men. you hear that in muslim countries all the time. this sets in more restrictions for women. It forfills itself.

Even prostitution started because of polygamous society.

I don't think he is a fair guy and stating his believe on the bible is grazy.

several years ago i was with this man Philip Sharp at his church Shema. He was one of the most kind, caring , loving spiritualy gifted person I had ever met. However when he got anointed by a woman called Christine Darg. I watched a beautiful guy die to be reborn into a very different guy as you see know.

I have met the man in this film, Philip Sharp. He is rude, aggressive and generally uncouthed. He believes he is a king, there are other people like this but they are locked away in mental institutions.
