A young woman of the Old Order German Baptist Brethren plays basketball after dinner at her parents' farm. Originating in a religious group that came from Schwarzenau in Germany in the early 18th century, the Brethren do not use electricity or cars. Sports play a large role in giving young people a chance to meet each other and socialize.
