Fascinating!So this is about 20 years old, meaning an elderly Shakers in the interviews are long gone. But then again so is this fascinating culture. I think the documentary went into great depth. I learned a great deal about a group I thought I already understood. If you like Americana, alternative beliefs and unique perspectives, all wrapped up in a peaceful prosperous culture - the Shakers are for you! Very sorry they did not last!!

Hands to Work Hearts to GodExcellent portrait of Quaker Society in America. It's a beautiful story of the Godly societies that once flourished in this country. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
