For me it was striking to see the difference in apparent "happiness" of the members between the more conservative colony and the more open colonies. The wife in the first colony, Susana Klassen, had a complete aura of sadness and depression on her face and in her voice. Even when the group of boys had a radio to listen to, a forbidden treat, they seemed relatively withdrawn. Sad.

One thing I observed is that they don't seem to be happy. And some seem to be quite depressed. I personally do not think God wants us to live the way people lived a couple of hundred years or a thousand years ago. Human's society has been moving forward since day one of the existence of human beings. So, going backward is contradictory to the natural progression (evolving) of the human society. And, by the way, the key of true faith is LOVE, not those external stuff such as using the electric devices or automobiles or not. True faith is LOVE-based, not RULE-based.

When the economy collapses these people would still live a normal life while most of us would be in big trouble.
@sashamellon822
A lot of abuse goes on in these communities. Kids and women suffer the most.

I live in Argentina and it's my first time hearing about them
@SkromnitsaKrasotka
Very interesting and educational video. But the music in the background is way too dramatic and depressing.
@atilathesonofdanubius4277
The communities with some access to technology seemed happier than those without. The first community looked depressed.

The look on Abrahams face as he is taking off and flying . . says it all. Joy,

The tourists doing selfies with the children made me feel uncomfortable. I know they are paying a lot of money for the experience, but the children seemed to feel obligated to do what the tourists wanted. There are so many ways that this sense of obligation could become dangerous.
@antwainclarke3406
Its so sad that the women in the first colony are trapped. The men dont even allow them to speak spanish saying that there is no need because all their duties are domestic.

Here in South Dakota we have Mennonites and Hutterites. The Mennonite community told me they first went to Russia from Germany at the invitation of Catherine the Great, but left when her grandson was going to force them into the military. When they left they split into the Amish who stayed most strict, Hutterites who live on colonies but use modern machinery, and the Mennonites who do not live in colonies and dress normally. The Hutterites still speak German and have colonies in North Dakota and Canada (probably other places too). All the men wear suspenders, the women head scarves. They just started to allow the kids to ride bikes!
@professormph
The contrast between the women from the first colony to the second, truly highlight the impact of oppressive gender roles. Of course the film makers could also have manipulated the scenes to highlight that difference but to me, just looking at the sparkle in the women's eyes who are integrated into the greater community, that really speaks loudly.

6:19 Um that looks like a lit light bulb connected to electrical wires surrounded by hats. No electricity? My eyes must be lying to me 😂
@horsepower2011
This is exactly how I grew up in Mexico 🇲🇽 these people in the first colony you visited moved there to Argentina 🇦🇷 from the colony I grew up in in Mexico 🇲🇽. I now live in Canada 🇨🇦. I would like to visit them in Argentina 🇦🇷 I would know some of them. Thanks for the documentary

The kids listening to Reggaeton cracked me up!!! And the cat winking at 14:12 🥰🥰🥰

I’m a Yoder. Grew up more secular in a community with my Menno cousins and went to their church and spent time with them. They are wonderful people.
@g.a.mendoza1064
Thank you for giving us a peak into their world. I’m amazed how simple their life is. We really don’t need too much.
@c.eslick6905
The women and children look like they are in absolute despair. My goodness.
