The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God

The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God

6.7 | 1984-11-01 | Documentary

They called themselves the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, but because of their ecstatic dancing, the world called them Shakers. Ken Burns creates a moving portrait of this particularly American movement, and in the process, offers us a new and unusually moving way to understand the Shakers.
