Which Path Will They Choose?
Rumspringa, literally, "Running Around."
Given the choice, how many young people would endure eighteenth century religious strictures when they could indulge in twenty-first century pleasures? Amish youth are given just such a choice. On turning 16 they are turned loose to experience the outside world until they can decide whether or not to commit to a lifetime within the community. With this freedom comes many conflicting emotions, full-blown teenage mayhem coupled with deep religious roots-a brutal combination.
Devil's Playground follows four Amish teens through the experience and is the first film to get inside the Amish community, revolutionizing our understanding of this unique American subculture.
