AMISH IN THE CITY
"Pleasantly entertaining ...The Amish kids' innocence and sense of wonder about the new world they're seeing makes this series more moving than anyy reality show I've ever seen before"
Los Angeles, home to many of the world's most famous movie stars, is known as the entertainment capital of the world - but it is completely unknown to one group of people - the Amish. For 300 years this fascinating community has lived in isolation, working together to grow their own food, make their own clothes, and build their own communities. They reject conveniences like electrecity, telephones, and cars, and focus on hard work, Christian workship, and family.
However, once AMish people reach their late teens, they are allowed to explore modern society and are given the chance to exèrience the outside world for the first time. This period is known as Rumspringa, a time when Amish young people must decide whether to commit to the strict rules of their faith, or to leave behind the Amish lifestyle and their family forever. Amish teenagers can spend their Rumspringa anywhere, but most of them choose to stay near their homes, venturing only a few miles from their small communities.
But now five of them have chosen to spend their Rumspringa in a way no one has before - living with six city kids in Los Angeles, who have no idea that they will be sharing a house with the Amish. For ten weeks they will explore everything the modern world has to offer, with one thing in mind, Will they retun to the simple life they've always lived, or will they choose to remain "Amish in the City"?
