Goofs
Throughout the movie, married men are seen with short and clean cut beards. Once a man marries, he is forbidden to trim or cut his beard. An Amish mans beard would be longer than those seen and would not be neat. (Prior to marriage, a man must shave his face clean.) Also, Amish women are never allowed to cut their hair.

Uncaring thugs attack those who are different

A small town is thrown into turmoil when four youths go on trial for a heinous crime against a neighboring Amish family. Many of the townspeople felt harassing the Amish for being different was merely harmless sport, but an idealistic young prosecutor brought charges for a hateful, intolerant act. The only witness against the criminals was a 7 year old girl whose father refused her entry into the trial on religious grounds which undermined almost all of the prosecutor's efforts at an indictment. Good film showing the stupidity of those with a superior attitude.
