Primetime Live: The Outsiders: Amish Rumspringa

Episode 6 |  Season 19 2007 - 2008 |  First Aired: 6/24/2008
Synopsis:
An unprecedented look at Amish teenagers at a crossroads, as they come of age and decide their future. For a year, Primetime followed a group of Amish teens in central Ohio as they experience an Amish tradition called "Rumspringa" - where the young have a chance to explore the usually forbidden modern world before forever committing themselves to the Amish way of life. That way of life includes having no electricity, no cars, no music and no education beyond the 8th grade. The challenge is that, if the temptations of the outside world prove more powerful than the world they have always known, the teens will spend the rest of their lives severed from their families and their communities. It's a high stakes choice between the enticement of freedom or returning to the faith and comfort of family life.
