SHAMELESS EXPLOITATION

Larry Alexander in the Intell.


Lancaster County will get national television exposure this weekend as "Saving
Sarah Cain" debuts on the Lifetime network
. Read the rest here.


As I've posted before, the book this movie is based on, is happy to use the Old Order Amish for marketing purposes, but it takes a condescending and demeaning view of Old Order Amish faith. How shamelessly exploitative will these people get before someone tells them to go take a bleeping hike?

A movie that would do an expo'se on the vicious predatory proselytizing of the Amish, by fundamentalist Christians is what we really need.
