The WHS Drama Club has the privilege of hosting a movie premiere in their theater tonight! A Heart Like Water is set in 1887 in Dakota Territory. A husband and wife, isolated in this unsettled wilderness, struggle to keep their family together and their hopes alive as they fight bitter cold, disease, wild animals, and crushing loneliness on the Dakota frontier. But they're not just fighting for themselves...New life is on the way.
This film was produced by a University of Mary professor and filmed near Watford City, ND.
The show is tonight, February 4 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 each and available on the link below.
We hope to see you there!
