This PBS documentary is well rendered and answers many questions "the English" (non Amish people) may have had about the Amish way of life. Why is it not hypocritical to use a phone or accept a ride in a non Amish person's car when the Amish can not own such items themselves? Is everyone raised as Amish excommunicated from the church for life if they leave the church? How can the Amish continue to support themselves and their large families as modern farming techniques improve and make their family farm way of life obsolete? Why are some modern conveniences once banned now permitted? Why does the government allow special Amish schools that end at grade school and are exempt from most public and private school rules? I've had all these questions and all were answered during the course of this film. The overall message of the film is one of tolerance and gratitude to the Amish for their preservation of all Americans less urban past, their hard work and their love for their community and family. The film focuses on Lancaster, PA but does mention that the largest Amish community is now in Holmes County, Ohio and newer communities are now flourishing throughout many parts of the US.
