National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed for National Geographic Television, by Associate Producer Dana Kemp, on July 24, 2003, researching for developing an episode for a second season of one of their programs. One month after the Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas decision of June 26, 2003, this 83-minute interview was one of the groundbreaking & history-making interviews that paved the way for eventual TV shows about polygamy in a positive presentation. (Indeed, 15 years ago, this interview was even available on tape for $19.95 - but it is now fully free here!) The woman producer even said that the positive standard of "love-not-force" was what made her go "Bingo!" in realizing that Christian Polygamy and UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy) are really positive choices for the women who choose it. In an era when TV producers would only show polygamists as abusive criminals, this comprehensively educational interview was an essential key that opened the door for the following future changes in television that would later report polygamy in vastly more positive ways.
