Comment: Another documentary about Mennonites (also Belize). Part of the DW Documentary series. Magneto Presse. Directed by Mélanie Van Der Ende. I think this is the most common movie about Mennonites (at least about them in South Africa). There are several different/foreign titles: Mennonites: Life in the Ultra-Conservative Christian Colonies of South Africa (Documentary). Aired 2020 on M6. A German title: Mennoniten - Die geschlossenste Gemeinschaft der Welt - Untersuchung - Weltdokumentation - MP.

I only checked this briefly. I think there are better ones (see previous and upcoming Mennonites movies). Rating ~5-6. Iconic pic 2 for better identification.

Update: I later found a shorter 2020 German documentary which might be the same
