''The Hutterites''<ref>{{cite web|author=Colin Low |url=http://www.nfb.ca/film/the_hutterites |title=The Hutterites by Colin Low - NFB |publisher=Nfb.ca |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref> is a documentary filmed by Colin Law in 1964 with the following synopsis: "The followers of religious leader Jakob Hutter live in farm communities, devoutly holding to the rules their founder laid down four centuries ago. Through the kindness of a Hutterite colony in Alberta, this film, in black and white, was made inside the community and shows all aspects of the Hutterites' daily life."

In the ''[[Kung Fu (1972 TV series)|Kung Fu]]'' episode "The Hoots" (December 13, 1973), the sheepherder members of a Hutterite religious sect offer no resistance to persecution by bigoted cattlemen until they learn from Kwai Chang Caine that, like the chameleon, they can change and yet remain the same in the [[American Southwest]].<ref>Complete Second Season DVD Kung Fu, 2005</ref>

Immediately after the first airing, many Hutterites began to complain that the show did not represent a true picture of typical colony life and ended up being a reality show or "soap opera" rather than a documentary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hutterites.org/news/view-american-colonies-meet-hutterites/ |title=Another View of 'American Colony' |publisher=Hutterites |date=June 1, 2012 |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=kwollmann |url=http://askahutterite.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/reflection-american-colony/ |title=Reflection: American Colony &#124; Ask a Hutterite |publisher=Askahutterite.wordpress.com |date=June 21, 2012 |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref> Some of the Hutterite cast later said that some of the scenes were scripted and that they were not aware of how the final version would portray the Hutterites.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://societymatters.org/hutterites/ |title=The Making of 'Meet the Hutterites': Resources |publisher=Society Matters |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref> Jeff Collins stated that he believes King Colony members were coerced to write retractions, under threat of excommunication from Hutterite leaders.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/us/hutterites-want-apology-for-natgeo-television-show/ |title=Hutterites want apology for NatGeo television show |publisher=Fox News Channel |date=August 8, 2012 |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref> Colony leaders from King Ranch Colony wrote a letter to the National Geographic Society asking for an apology and that the show be discontinued, citing a false portrayal of Hutterites and a "breach of contract and defamation of our life and our character" as the reason.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scribd.com/doc/101799993/Letter-to-John-Fahey |title=Letter to John Fahey |via=Scribd |access-date=September 16, 2013}}</ref>
