Breaking the Silence: My Amish Story

Season 1

Breaking the Silence is a documentary series that presents a respectfully honest view of the origins and legacy of the Amish and how they became who they are today. Featuring the story of Lester and Rebecca Graber's salvation, excommunication, and exit from the Amish church, this film traces the Graber family and the Amish church back to the Reformation Era. But it doesn't stop there. This film includes interviews with people who have left the Amish as well as church leaders and historians from Switzerland. One of the primary messages that the film presents is the power of God's Word in the lives of those who read it.
