NEW | The Testament of Ann Lee (engl.OV)
Directed by Mona Fastvold | With Amanda Seyfried, Lewis Pullman, Tim Blake Nelson
Ann Lee, who was born in England in 1736, emigrated to New York in 1774 with a small group of followers and became one of the most influential figures of her time. At that time, Lee was one of the few female leaders in religious communities. She founded the Shaker movement, was regarded as a female Christ, and established one of the largest utopian communities in American history. Her followers worshiped her through enthusiastic singing and exuberant dancing. These events are based on true occurrences.
