Amish: Not to be Modern

Because of the Amish's deep belief in biblical commandments, such as the rule against the making of graven images, very few photographic records of their society exist. Filmmakers Victoria Larimore and Michael Taylor portray the life of this separatist community over four seasons. This documentary is an exclusive portrait of the day-to-day life of a traditional community that has preserved its unique heritage. Allowing the Amish to speak for themselves, The Amish: Not to Be Modern offers an opportunity to examine a very particular social experience.
