- Synopsis:
This is the ultimate fish out of water story, following four Amish people and one Mennonite who will swap the black and white scriptures of their communities for the neon lights of New York City. They'll be experiencing so many things for the first time. From major things like flying in a plane, to the mundane like wearing jeans and using electricity, the show tracks their transition into city culture. Their decision to pack up their bags and leave their homes does not come without a hefty price. Family members are forced to shun their own children, siblings and grandchildren, as they have decided to break the authoritarian codes of their religion to explore a world beyond the limitations of their simple upbringing. Even if they go back they risk being shunned by their community, family and friends forever. Will these 'rebellious' group of people decide to remain Amish and Mennonite or become "English" - and face the consequence of being shunned by those closest to them. - Actors:
