The Man Who Invented Christmas

On Friday November 30, the movie, The Man Who Invented Christmas, will be showing at the Heartland Center for Spirituality for the fall series of “Movies with a Message.” The Man Who Invented Christmas tells the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today. The movie begins at 6:15 in the Auditorium of the Motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of Peace. Other movies in the series include: Little Women (Tuesday Jan. 8), Blackbeard’s Ghost (Tuesday Feb. 5), The Greatest Showman (Tuesday March 5), The Long Walk Home (Tuesday April 2) and Summer in the Forest (Tuesday April 30). A free will offering will be accepted to offset the cost of refreshments.
