“Who Are the Amish?”
A dramatic 3-screen feature!

“The photographs were lush, the narration intelligent. We were told that the Amish struggle between seeking humility and perfection, and that their lives are hardly idyllic. Like all families, they have problems with the temptations of modern life.”
— The New York Times

What are the Amish schools like?

What is it like to be an Amish child?
What are their courting practices?
What are their weddings like?

Using nine projectors with three screens, original music, and descriptive narration, "Who Are the Amish?" captures both the facts and the soul of our Amish neighbors.

Are the Amish disappearing? When did the Amish get started? Are the Amish against education? What are the most common misconceptions about the Amish? How many Amish are there, and where do they live?

On the lighter side —
The Amish enjoy a great sense of humor which may not be visible to the average observer.

What holds these people together?

An excellent feature to begin your acquaintance with the Amish. Equally delightful for children. 30 minutes in length, shown continuously throughout the day.
