Having outlined their traditional life-style to camera Miriam persuades several friends to be happily filmed and it becomes clear that the Lapps and other,younger Amish,believe that,having been rebaptized to allow a more open evangelical approach - risking excommunication thereby - they feel the need for a change in the community.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Amish speak to me as i was deep into meadows-land while i coast to coast America by bus and because of the deep wisdom that the related movie « witness » infuses. This is the only community i know that really prohibits guns and taking lives believing clearly than man can't be the judge of other life ! They move me too because of their way of life, centered about love, simplicity, family, hard-work ! For those, we have watched « witness », this documentary won't be a surprise and i can't say it opens new fields : same clothes, same humility, same habits and traditions ! The only change i notice is that now it's for real : it's a true family not actors ! As this family took great risks to open doors, i just can rate it with the best mark to honor their courage !
