Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker's irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers.

From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers.

The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award® winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
