LANCASTER, Penn., Sept. 15, 2022 /Christian Newswire/ -- Following five decades of producing spectacular family-friendly entertainment experiences on the live stage, Sight & Sound recently unveiled the newest expansion to its brand, Sight & Sound Films. Today, the ministry has announced details of its highly anticipated first movie, "I Heard The Bells," arriving in theaters December 1, 3 and 4 in partnership with Fathom Events.



Set in the 1860s, the film takes viewers on a journey through the life of American-poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who leads an idyllic life – until the day his world is shattered by tragedy. With a nation divided by Civil War and his family torn apart, Longfellow puts down his pen, silenced by grief. However, it’s the sound of Christmas morning that reignites the poet's lost voice as he discovers resounding hope and a rekindled faith.

"As one of America's best-loved and recognized poets, Longfellow was the voice of culture in that moment of history," said Josh Enck, President and Chief Story Officer of Sight & Sound who also served as director for the film. "And as Sight & Sound's first feature, it embodies our mission to tell true stories about historical figures whose lives changed the world because Christ first changed them."

After a devastating loss that leaves Longfellow bereft, he eventually remembers where true hope can be found, finding his faith once again. "I Heard the Bells" is an inspiring story of redemption and rekindled faith.

"We're honored to partner with Fathom Events to bring this redemptive story of faith to movie theaters this Christmas season," said Enck. "We can't wait for people to experience this inspiring true story on the big screen!"
