A Secret Love

Directed by Chris Bolan1h 22m2020

Amid shifting times, two women kept their decades-long love a secret. But coming out later in life comes with its own set of challenges.

Our read: A Secret Love (2020) reads as a warm, measured, grounded documentary entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
