POSTPONED! Apologies for any inconvenience. 

Docs In Progress is proud to present the documentary IN GOD WE TRUST as part of our Silver Screen Series. Join us on Thursday, December 5, at 7pm for a special screening, followed by a conversation with Uma Vangal, director of the film.

In God We Trust is a documentary centered on the Troyer family, members of the Amish community in Sugarcreek, Holmes County, Ohio. The film offers an outsider’s inside view of an Amish family that generously opens their home to the filmmaker, providing an intimate perspective of their life. The documentary delves into the everyday lives, philosophies, and simple joys of the Troyer family, using their story as a lens to explore the Amish way of life as a conscious choice and a deeply-rooted lifestyle.

Filmed over a span of three years, from 2015 to 2017, in the rural landscapes of Ohio, the documentary was completed in 2024.

Holmes County, Ohio, is home to the largest Amish settlement in the state, and by 2023, it included an estimated 39,525 children and adults, making it the second-largest Amish community in the world and the county with the highest concentration of Amish in the U.S.

The Silver Screen Series is intended as a gathering place where documentary films can be shown and shared. These films draw on the humanities values of biography, history, culture, and ethics. They are about the stories that define us, connect us with each other, express our values and convey our experiences. The Silver Screen Series is funded in part by Maryland Humanities and The National Endowment for the Humanities.
