This sure left me wanting to see more
I had never heard of "The Twelve Tribes"--a fundamentalist Christian group that in some ways is reminiscent of the Quakers. Like Quakers, the sect lives very simply off the land and there is a huge difference in how they and the outside world lives. In many ways, there seems to be a lot to admire about them--their love of the simple, their close connections and their devotion to God. However, there are some that can't take these rigid lives and there have also been some allegations of child abuse. Because there is so much left unanswered, I was intrigued by this documentary but also felt it was way, way too short. I would have loved to hear more about the possible abuse, the actual doctrine of the group as well as learn more about their day to day lives. Fascinating and well made but also woefully incomplete. How about a sequel?!
