Breaking Amish

Life on the farm or the Big Apple? The choice is theirs.

This is the ultimate fish out of water story: a group of five young Amish/Mennonite men and women will swap the black and white scriptures of their communities for the neon lights of New York City.

Their decision to pack up their bags and leave their homes does not come without a hefty price. Family members are forced to shun their own children, siblings and grandchildren, as they have decided to break the authoritarian codes of their religion to explore a world beyond the limitations of their simple upbringing.

Even if they go back they risk being shunned by their community, family and friends forever. Will these 'rebellious' Amish/Mennonite members decide to forego Western luxuries and return to their previous lifestyles?
