Little is known about the secretive world of Plain communities beyond the image they present through their multimillion-dollar tourism industry. Despite their reputation as peaceful, gentle people, Amish congregations are fraught with horrific abuse that the outside world rarely hears about. A group of survivors takes a stand against century-long traditions to speak out against oppression in the hopes of effecting change for future generations. Despite teachings that the Amish should never go outside the church for help, some women are brave enough to take their abusers to court.

Fletcher Peters The Daily Beast 05/27/2022
The new docuseries is a horrifying portrait of the pattern of dark behavior and victim silencing that has pervaded the Amish community for generations—and gone largely unnoticed. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 05/25/2022

05/28/2022 A misguided broad-brushing I made the acquaintance of a language professor, whose study of the "Pennsylvania Dutch" language led to his becoming a mediator with the outside world for various Amish communities in Pennsylvania and the mid-west. He portrayed a nuanced, decent, often beautiful way of life that maintains an equilibrium by the Rumspringa, a process of each young adult deciding whether or not to commit to the "plain" life. To the young people who do take it on, mainstream life seems noisy and distasteful. I have come to understand the Amish as fundamentally different from all the genuinely repressive, retrograde cults and sects they superficially resemble. I have no doubt that the individual horror stories in the series are authentic. But I take great exception to any claim that they are typical, representative, or more prevalent than in mainstream society. That is a bum rap! See more Read all reviews
