The Testament of Ann Lee with Mona Fastvold and Daniel Blumberg Picturehouse

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer-director Mona Fastvold and composer Daniel Blumberg about their new film, The Testament of Ann Lee. From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award-nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shakers' irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was proclaimed by her followers as the female Christ. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a world of her own, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements.
