Not All That 'The World' Does Is Good for a Mennonite plot

The Mennonite religion descends from Menno Simons, a sixteenth-century Dutchman who turned his back on Catholicism and started his own religion. Initially his followers were called Mennonites, later they named themselves after the founder. The Mennonites live all over the world, in small closed, mostly agricultural communities. This film focuses on a colony in Mexico. Some of them tell of the Mennonite dilemmas in the modern world. How they struggle constantly to maintain their norms and customs in a world that understands less and less about the traditional and extremely austere way the Mennonites live.
