Description

This Sundance Festival sensation has attracted attention because of its jarring images of Amish kids immersed in debauchery: plain-dressed girls in white bonnets slugging back beers and flicking ashes from their cigarettes, boys passing out in the back of pickups after all-night parties, even Amish teens in bed together.

Interesting insinght on Amish youth

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago at Oct 19 6:58
This documentary focuses on the period in every Amish fellows life when they have a chance to try out living outside of the community. Usually this period lasts from couple of months to couple of years and it starts when you turn 16. After you have tried out the 'sinister' lifestyle, you have a choise to make if you want to join the church. This period is called Rumspringa. The documentary is quite objective but only thing I didnt liked about was the soundtrack. It is a bit cheesy. This was documentary was quite informative which was nice. I've heard about this event but I didn't know that during Rumspringa youngsters usually try out various psychoactive substances and premarital sex. A recommended watch if you are into documentaries.

Rating : 6/10
