In
the summer of 1874, a German speaking group of Mennonite immigrants
from Russia began to flow into the virgin prairie of southern Manitoba.
Sixty-thousand Mennonites now live along a band of fertile land
hugging the Canadian-American border. With a core of beliefs centered
around a faith in God, a productive life and pacifism, the Mennonites
have lived in Manitoba for more than 125 years. This documentary
explores the history and culture and the Mennonites in Manitoba
and explores how the Mennonite culture maintains its connections
to its historical beliefs while living surrounded by the modern
world in Winnipeg and Manitoba. It also looks at the dual character
of a Mennonite. Mennonite denotes a religious group based on common
beliefs, but it also indicates a certain ethnicity. (Instructional Resources does
