Trouble in Amish Paradise
An extraordinary insight into the secretive world of the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. When two radical Amish men, Ephraim and Jesse Stoltzfus, start to question some of the most fundamental aspects of their Amish culture, they face excommunication from their church and total rejection by their friends and family.

I can speak Pennsylvania Dutch fluently
Ditto. I was raised Amish, though not as primitive as the above. My parents joined a bit more “liberal” branch of Amish called “New Order”.
Most of my relatives come from Lancaster; I’m pretty sure my mom would know the parents of the above men if she had their parents’ names; my mom’s name was Stoltzfus.
@mikenpeg - I could point out many people I recognized in the video. Like the tent meeting. Many of the Charity church were there
That was a very interesting documentary. Thank you for posting it.
