Every revolution begins with a tremor.

The Testament of Ann Lee tells the story of a woman who refused to bow to the order of her time. In 18th-century England, Ann Lee (Amanda Seyfried) founded the Shakers, a movement built on equality, devotion, and ecstatic worship. Her belief that the divine lived equally in men and women made her both prophet and heretic, loved and condemned in equal measure.

Director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) transforms history into living ritual blending choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall and music by Daniel Blumberg into a vision that feels less like a period film and more like revelation. The result isn’t about sainthood. It’s about conviction and the cost of building paradise with human hands.

At Alpha Chromatica, we’re drawn to stories that blur creation and devotion, where art becomes liturgy and doubt becomes proof.

Because every artist, at some point, must decide:
do you follow the rhythm,
or do you become it?
