Take an inside look at the making of this moving historical film.

Daniel Bielinski and Tiffany Cornwell play the main characters in the new film, “A Heart Like Water.”

It’s 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.
