Breaking Amish

via

It may come as very little surprise that a reality show based on the quiet lives of the Amish looks less than genuine on camera and underneath production lighting. This is especially the case considering only four of the group was actually Amish. The others were Anabaptist or Mennonite and presented as those trying to make the decision whether or not to return to their communities. Turns out that the drama has already taken place years ago with their personal struggles, long before a camera was forced in front of their faces. The reality is that they had actually left their inborn lifestyle several years prior.
