The Government Tried to Push the Amish Out — What They Did Next Will SHOCK You!

An Amish man jailed in Minnesota. Amish homes in Michigan labeled "unfit for human habitation." Tiny Amish schools in New York hit with $118,000 in fines. Across America, local and state governments have tried to force the Amish to give up their way of life, or leave. But what the Amish did next surprised judges, cost one county $425,000, and even caught the attention of the U.S. Supreme Court. In this Amish documentary, we go through the real cases behind the Amish fight with the government. From the 1965 Iowa school bus standoff and the landmark Wisconsin v. Yoder Supreme Court case, to the Kentucky orange triangle dispute, the Lenawee County, Michigan lawsuits, the Fillmore County septic case, the Mille Lacs County permit fight, and the New York school vaccine fines that could push thousands of Amish families to leave the state.
