“Fabulous, a story with a moral purpose. Powerful performances from Jamelle Sargent as the young Tom and Eva Doueiri as the young Sarah.” 

Tony Moore Indy Film Library

Stunning, Compelling, Entertaining- Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune.

Old Heart co-star Dutch costar Eva Doueiri joins a talkback following this special screening in Brabant where the movie was filmed.

Adapted from Peter Ferry’s award winning novel, Old Heart has won eight awards for best feature. The film tells the story of Tom Johnson, an American soldier who is part of the Allied liberation of the Southern Netherlands in the fall of 1944. He works with 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. 

The Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944-45, is central to this screenplay which has won seven best feature film awards at festivals in America and abroad.
