I heard the bells on Christmas Day, Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet Their words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Henry W. Longfellow, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, 1864
We’ve all heard this beautiful Christmas carol, but did you know that before it was a carol, it was a poem written by one of America’s greatest poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow? This new feature film explores the life of Longfellow, his faith, and what inspired him to write this now beloved carol. It’s filled with hope & redemption for the Christmas spirit.
Many know the famous Christmas carol, but are you familiar with the history that inspired “I Heard the Bells”? Dive deeper into the heart of the story with this newly released video from Sight & Sound Films.
Watch the Trailer Below
Known as America’s Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 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, Henry puts down his pen, silenced by grief. But it’s the sound of Christmas morning that reignites the poet’s lost voice as he discovers the resounding hope of rekindled faith.
I really enjoyed this movie, and think it’s the perfect way to ring in Christmas with a powerful message of resounding hope and rekindled faith. I think that this movie would be perfect for older children (as there are some adult themes and war scenes) or a date night movie.
Filled with heart and history, I HEARD THE BELLS premieres in movie theaters nationwide starting Thursday, December 1st.
It’s in theaters ONLY on December 1st, 3rd, and 4th!
