520    Far away from the big cities and major roads -in the vast expanse of the Northern Prairies- a withdrawn people are practising their headstrong way of life and beliefs. Few outsiders have ever had a chance to get to know more about their communal life-style. The German rooted Hutterites are direct descendants of radical Anabaptists from the days of the Reformation in Europe. After hundreds of years of fierce persecution, having moved about from country to country, they have now chosen to live apart from the modern world. Until today, they have been able to preserve their spiritual heritage and strict way-of-life by rejecting modern media. They still speak an odd Alpine dialect and wear their traditional medieval clothes: the men in trousers with suspenders and the women in old-fashioned kerchiefs. Ιt took 6 difficult years of preparation before the film-makers could gain the trust of the community and were finally permitted to "take the picture." For the Hutterites, film and photography are part of worldly sins like fostering vanity and "the lust of eyes."
