“We plow the earth, we sow the seed,
We pray to God for rain . . . ”
— from one of the songs in “Who Are the Amish?”

“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

Here are some of the hundreds of scenes you will see in
