Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
"The AmishThe Story of Pennsylvania's Amish Communities DVD - $22.99 (plus $8.00 S&H)
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania hosts the oldest Amish community in North America. What emerges is a mosaic of Amish
life and practice quite different from the common Amish stereotype.
Finacial pressures have forced the majority of the Amish to forsake farming for more lucrative business enterprises.
Business owners tend to adopt technology more rapidly than farmers, leading to a mini-industrial revolution. With
more adults working in industries, family dynamics are beginning to change. Buller's camera captures the changes
sweeping across the Amish landscape.
His interviews with authors Donald B Kraybill and Steven M Nolt provide uncommon insight into the Amish mindset.
Experience Amish farm life, family life, business enterprises, childhood, school, worship, horse cultures, business
practices.
Extensive footage from an Amish barn raising. Includes Amish response to the Nickel Mines tragedy.
Copyright 2007 Buller Films LLC. His programs have appeared on PBS, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, and
others.
Approx. 45 minutes in length
Award Winning PBS Documentary, updated in 2000
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania -- The Oldest Amish community in America.
An updated look at Amish origins, farm-life, childhood, school, worship, recreation, courtship, barn-raising, horse-transportation,
tourism, land pressures, and new cottage industries.
From the back cover of this tape: "The Amish, in the year 2000, keep surprising their technology-programmed
neighbors by keeping alive ways and beliefs that many modern Americans wish they could recapture. In this colorful,
updated documentary, Mennonite historian John Ruth takes us sympathetically into the Amish mindset. Dr. John A.
Hostetler, author of Amish Society,
comments on the survival of an alternative to the kind of world we have made. As the Amish increase in numbers,
some of them migrate from homesteads in Pennsylvania toward more open farmland. Those staying where the land is
too crowded to farm have developed an amazing variety of cottage industries. But all such changes are made very
carefully, in order not to sacrifice spiritual covenant and community for the sake of convenience."
VHS - $19.99 (plus $8.00 S&H)
DVD - $22.99 (plus $8.00 S&H)
