What is the Amish community?

Imagine waking up tomorrow and deciding to get rid of your family car, the television, and all the iPads for good! Sounds crazy, right? But for the Amish community, living without modern technology isn't a punishment—it's a thoughtful choice! Travel back in time with Mira and Finn to 1500s Switzerland to discover the origins of the Anabaptists, and find out why thousands later settled in Pennsylvania for religious freedom. Today, over 400,000 Amish people drive horse-drawn buggies, wear plain clothes without zippers, and live very simply. But why do they say no to super-fast cars and video games? Because they ask a totally different question about new inventions: Does this bring our family closer together, or pull us apart? You won't believe what happens when an Amish community works together—they can build an entire two-story wooden barn from the ground up in just a single day! Tune in to learn why sometimes, you don't need the fastest modern gadgets to have a wonderful life, you just need your neighbors!
