I am so grateful for this documentary. There is footage in here of my Grandfather who passed away about 10 years ago. Every now and then I watch it just to see his face 😌

Say what you want but there's something admirable about these people's work ethic

Not a Mennonite but admire and respect them greatly

Living in peace is the most important. If they peaceful, let them live so, let everyone live in love and peace.

MODESTY- something todays world is MISSING so much.

My Ukraine ancestors also left Europe and came to Sifton  Manitoba in the late 1800's following the Canadian government's offer to open the west for the railway. Who better then those who are farmers in the breadbasket of Europe. Strong in faith, family oriented, and land in Canada for $10.00  a quarter section where you had freedom to grow what you wanted and Religious freedom was paramount. I am the third generation Canadian,. My grandfather was the first child born in Canada as they came from  Europe  with six children and had five more after my grandfather. Only one child left Manitoba that was my grandfather. But the other 12 stayed and opened business, farmed new homesteads,  Becoming part of their communities and following the Orthodox faith.   This was a great  documentary  of the modern day Mennonites. I lived in areas of southern now northern Ontario where there are more of the old order. Either group are a real strong part of any community.
Thank you.for this documentary.

My Dad was Born in Altona, and my Mom in Randolf,my great grandparents did come in the 1880's from Russia to Canada

Wow this is very interesting. I've found out a while ago that my family Goertzen were Mennonites in Manitoba.

My great-great grandparents were Mennonites.  My Great Grandfather left because he went to serve in WWI.  Mennonite history is fascinating.

Left out a huge part of Mennonite businesses. Even before The Automobile City; even before automobiles my grandfather would travel the prairies with his horses and threshing machine assisting farmers with harvests for a percentage.

There are still a lot of Mennonite churches in Holland, 'Doopsgezind', especially in Frisia where Menno came from himself.
The church we went in Overijssel, was built behind a house in the city, a hidden church, later when there was more religious freedom they demolished the house so it now has a nice garden in front of it.

God's word does not change.....

I enjoyed learning more about the Mennonites. I find that there is quite a bit more information about the Amish but wondered why I am unable to find out more on the Mennonites. Truly enjoyed this video.  Hope to see more videos on Mennonites.

I live in Michigan we have a mennonite community around here they are the most respectable people we buy the product they offer specially on fall season are the best places to go home made pie caramel apples pecan pies bread and so many other delicious treats

Very interesting. Everyone who spoke seemed very sincere and for lack of a different way to say it, gentle.

These people are admirable!

Great documentary. Loved it. Thanks.

Highly enjoyable.

No mention, however, of a) usury and b) the Co-operative Sector in Manitoba.

Very interesting to see the history portion.

Peace practicing and promoting community is always a good thing no matter who you are, where you are from or end up. Does not surprise me that the largest community is in Canada where I was raised.
