Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA)
Manitoba: Winnipeg Region
We went to the meeting, we saw the movie...and we liked it! Read the review our members gave this diverting movie.
June 18, 2015 meeting of JASNA: Winnipeg Chapter
Special viewing at our June 2015 Meeting
JASNA has received an offer from Mission Pictures International and the UP TV Network to provide copies of their upcoming film Love Finds You in Charm to JASNA Regions. The film premieres on June 7th on the UP TV Network. UP believes in regional group screenings, and is happy to send a DVD to a Region that has 15 or more members who want to view the film. They are envisioning Regions hosted screenings in meeting centers, homes, etc. as opposed to booking out a movie theater.
The plot centers on a young Amish woman, Emma Miller, who is making the decision between staying with the Amish community, or leaving it behind to explore the world. She is caught between her conflicting emotions about the Amish community, and also between two men: Amish Noah and Englisher Andy. Emma is a big Jane Austen fan, going against the Amish community rules to even read the books. She quotes Austen's books in the film, and draws parallels between her life and that of Austen's characters.
