Running Free
Gerald Yutzy has a decision to make. Like other Amish teenagers, Gerald at 16 entered his rumspringa, a period of 'running around' without parental restrictions that typically lasts a few years, during which he has to choose whether or not to join the church. He got a job and indulged in Levi's, cigarettes and, often enough, sex, drugs and zippers. Eventually, 85 to 90 percent of Gerald's peers choose to enter the fold. But five years into freedom, Gerald still isn't sure which life he wants.
