Old Heart stars and the producer join a World War 2 historian for this sneak preview. Filmed on location in West Michigan, Old Heart is adapted from South Haven author Peter Ferry’s award winning novel.

Adapted from the award-winning novel, Old Heart tells the story of Tom Johnson, a black American soldier who is part of the Allied liberation of Southern Netherlands in the fall of 1944. He works with a Jewish translator, Sarah van Praag, to smuggle food and supplies to starving residents of northern cities trapped behind Nazi lines. They also fall in love.

Sixty years later, in the summer of 2005, Tom foils his family’s plan to move him to an assisted living facility by taking a flight to the Netherlands. He is determined to find Sarah again, the love of his life.  A tribute to black soldiers who courageously fought the world’s greatest racist as part of a segregated Army, Old Heart is also a tribute to elder independence. You can see the film’s trailer at oldheartmovie.com Tickets will be on sale soon online at the theater.
