Inside the Most Conservative Amish Community

The Amish are a group of Christian fellowships that live their life almost the same as they did about 300 years ago. They reject the use of technology, cannot use electricity, and wear very traditional, plain clothing.
Typically, films of Amish people have portrayed them in a way that is inauthentic to the true conservative perspective that represents many of these Americans, so today, we set out to document this group of people to better understand their unique perspective on modern society.
We filmed this video in a style that was pretty unique, but we knew that we'd have to get creative to show a perspective that isn't otherwise available on KZbin. Enjoy!
About us: we are two college students who are genuinely curious about the wide variety of people and perspectives across the United States. This summer, we are traveling the country to answer the question: what is the current state of America? Follow along to learn as we go.

Great job! That took some effort!

[@crossroads.america]

Appreciate it!

[@t.h.8475]

Hoosier here, where I live, the Amish don't want their pictures or videos taken.

[@crossroads.america]

Yep! That’s how it was for this area too, so having to do it this way was definitely a challenge, but worth it

[@janezawadowski905]

I live in Pennsylvania close to Lancaster and work in the construction industry. I have worked with many Amish and Amish adjacent people, and most are very hard workers and strong as heck! A weirdly common thing in a particular area in pa is amish concrete guys

Best video about the Amish that i have ever watched

[@crossroads.america]

That’s super nice, appreciate it!

[@chelongogan3904]

I wouldnt want to live like that... 😮

[@janesmith9024]

Very interesting - thanks. I think they have on average 8 children. It would be interesting to know how many that family had although that might breach their privacy rights to disclose.

[@crossroads.america]

We asked them about this and they said they'll have as many children as God wills them to - definitely a different outlook and lifestyle but very interesting!
