Film Profiles Argentine Mennonites, a Traditional Faith Community Known for Strict Practices

The Mennonites are described in a streaming listing for a documentary as descendants of an old world and the last survivors of a religious confession that is sometimes called sectarian. The listing says the confession shapes their traditional way of life. The film, titled “The Mennonites: A Mysterious Faith Community,” is offered on the RTL+ platform.

According to the listing, the Mennonites are “at war with modernity,” which it presents as a threat to their existence. The listing does not explain this claim or identify who makes it, and it gives no details about how the community responds to modern life.

The listing also states that the Argentine Mennonites, who are represented throughout the world, are known as the strictest and the most difficult to access. It does not give further information about their communities, leaders, congregations, or practices, or about any recent decisions, statements, or events.
