From acclaimed writer-director Mona Fastvold comes a bold reimagining of the true story of Ann Lee, the visionary founder of the Shakers. Amanda Seyfried delivers a commanding performance as the movement’s charismatic leader, whose radical beliefs in gender and social equality inspired fierce devotion—and deep controversy. Blending history with lyrical invention, The Testament of Ann Lee traces the ecstasy and sacrifice of Lee’s pursuit of a spiritual utopia. The film is infused with more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns, transformed into striking musical sequences with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall, alongside an evocative original score and songs by Daniel Blumberg. At once intimate and rapturous, the film is a singular portrait of faith, devotion, and the cost of visionary change.
