The YouTube experimental mash-up It's Not a Compound sets portions of a Good Morning America interview with members of the recently-raided polygamist sect Yearning for Zion to music. As phrases such as "it's not a compound" and "it's our ranch and it's our home" are spoken against a dance beat, distorted images of sect members (called "The Polygamist Mothers" in the video and "Sister Wives" to one another) and Robin Roberts and key phrases flash by on screen.
The video is the work of the group The Art of Bleeding, who have produced a few other experimental short films and bill themselves ironically as "health educators."

Yearning for Zion
The Yearning for Zion sect referenced in the video formed initially as an offshoot of Mormonism, determined to continue the now-abandoned tradition of marrying multiple wives. As many as 400 children and 133 women lived together on the group's El Dorado, Texas ranch (sometimes called the "YFZ Ranch") until it was raided by Texas Child Protective Services and state troopers in April of 2008.The ranch was the brainchild of convicted cult leader Warren Jeffs, who is serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexual conduct with a minor and incest. It is alleged that girls as young as 10 years old living on the ranch would be forced into arranged marriages with adult men.
