Add a CommentOne of the best I've seen on the Amish. It was nice to see a version where it wasn't all scandal and rebellion. They still kept their faith in their new lifestyle.
A beautifully and gently shot documentary. Offers a brief history, many respectful interviews, and gives a good overview of what the Amish face now. Quiet, but moving.
Good general overview, but for those already familiar with the Amish, nothing too stunningly new here.
