Explores the insular religious community, whose intense faith and adherence to 400-year-old traditions have by turns captivated and baffled Americans for more than a century. The film examines the beliefs, lifestyle, and history of the Amish, as well as their complex relationship to mainstream American culture. Beautifully and lyrically photographed, The Amish is part history, part observational documentary that takes viewers into the world of the Amish.

One 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.
