About

Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.

The story of a family of Quakers in Indiana in 1862. Their religious sect is strongly opposed to violence and war. It's not easy for them to meet the rules of their religion in everyday life but when Southern troops pass the area they are in real trouble. Should they fight, despite their peaceful attitude?

A quiet, weathered dignity defines the patriarch as he struggles to protect his pacifist Quaker family from the encroaching violence of the Civil War. This gentle drama pits deeply held religious convictions against the brutal necessity of survival when enemy troops arrive on their doorstep.
