Devil's Playground
Documentary
The Devil's Playground is a fascinating and moving documentary about a little-known aspect of Amish life. Amish are not permitted to join the church until their late teens, and have to do so of their own volition. The film explores Rumspringa, wherein young Amish are given the opportunity to explore the "English" way of life.
VIBE
A gentle, observational dive into a unique rite of passage. It feels like peeking behind a curtain, offering a quiet, thoughtful look at youth navigating tradition and the allure of the outside world.
