Amish: World's Squarest Teenagers
2010










This series follows five Amish teenagers traveling to Britain on a rite of passage called 'Rumspringa'. The Amish live strictly sheltered lives based on their belief that living simply brings them closer to God. They have their own language and rules and are rarely educated past primary level. They often don't use electricity or cars, they don't wear zips or sleeveless clothes, nor do they drink or smoke.
Synopsis by Unfair










Fun to see the teen's reactions. This documentary was unusually fair, balancing not portraying secular people as immoral and refraining from painting the Amish lifestyle as odd, eccentric, or closed-minded.
