The video discusses the three sects of Hutterites: Leralites, Shmeenite, and Dariusite. It explains the differences in their dress codes and beliefs, which are mostly similar but applied differently. The sects originated from three groups that migrated from Europe to South Dakota, each led by a different leader. Attempts to unify the Leralite and Dariusite sects failed due to differing leadership visions.
