'Old Heart' film screening

The Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA) will host a pair of screenings of ‘Old Heart’ the newest film from West Michigan producer/screenwriter Roger Rapoport.

Adapted from the award-winning novel by Peter Ferry, ‘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.

Screenings of the film will take place Wednesday, May 14 at 2 p.m. and Thursday, May 15 at 6 p.m.
