From promotional materials for the 1973 film: "A documentary film produced by MTN's Bill Whitsitt provides a glimpse into the life and thoughts of one of Montana's least known religious communities. The film - the first, and possibly last, of a kind - portrays the lifestyle of the Miller Hutterite Colony near Choteau, including views of the members at work and play, in the fields and in the classroom, with modern machines and with traditional texts of prayer."

I learned so much in the Hutterite colony, it paved my future.
I turned out to be a good citizen even with all the spankings I got, I put myself through welding school, got me a job on the pipelines and made some good money , I am a proven fact that if you want something you need to work your a$$ off to get it and I learned everything I know from when I grew up on the colony. I’m grateful
