PBS America Special | The Amish: Shunned

What is it like to be cut off from your faith and your family?

Follow seven people who have chosen to leave their closed and tightly-knit Amish communities for the outside world, knowing they can never return.


Each has paid deeply for their decision. Estranged from loved ones, these former Amish find themselves struggling to make their way in modern America.
