With rare access to the notoriously private Amish community, Amish: World's Squarest Teenagers follows a group of five Amish young people leaving their closed communities in mid-west USA for the very first time: to travel to Britain on an extraordinary cultural exchange.

Quite an interesting programme, last week they were in London, this week in Kent. Channel 4, 8-9pm tonight.

Same. If you haven't I'd recommend reading the book my Jodi Picoult - Plain Truth, although its fiction it gives a lot of info on the Amish.

What they were saying about dancing and rhythm/beats was fascinating as well I thought... and its really interesting to hear how they view the british in regards to clothes, behaivour etc.
