Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures will release The Testament of Ann Lee <\/em>through digital retail platforms March 10.<\/p>\n

\"\"From director Mona Fastvold, The Testament of Ann Lee<\/em> depicts the story of the founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker\u2019s revered, irrepressible leader who preaches gender and social equality. With reimagined Shaker hymns, the film captures Lee\u2019s ecstasy and agony in her quest to build a utopia.<\/p>\n

Calling Lee a \u201cwild feminist religious leader in late 1700s America,\u201d Fastvold said she was inspired to make the film because she believed Lee had been completely overlooked by history. “This film is offered as a tribute to her dream \u2014 and the silence that now surrounds it,\u201d Fastvold said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The film was written by Fastvold and Brady Corbet, and also stars Thomasin Mckenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson and Christopher Abbott. It earned $2.5 million at the domestic box office and earned Seyfried a best actress nomination at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

The home entertainment release with select retailers includes the bonus featurette “The Testament of Ann Lee: <\/em>A Special Look,” in which the filmmakers and cast members delve into the making of the film.<\/p>\n
