Chasing Secrets

If possible, this could become a classic. It's already a very good movie but in a few years, the popularity of "Chasing Secrets" or "The Secret Path" should increase. I loved it right from the start and it was a bit difficult to prevent the tears rolling down my cheeks. No, I didn't cry but some scenes can make a person feel down. That's maybe what makes it a good movie. If you can actually feel what the characters feel, you'll remember it for a long time, I'm sure of that. I'd like to end by saying you should see this movie - if you ever get the opportunity, please TAKE it - because there's no doubt it will get to you too. 8/10 is the perfect score for "The Secret Path".

I am a Lifetime Movie Network and Lifetime lover. This movie came on LMN titled Chasing Secrets. I had no idea what it was gonna be about, but once I started watching it, I couldn't take my eyes off of the TV. This movie had me crying, laughing and it gave me such a warm feeling inside. I am trying my best to find out where I can purchase this movie so that I can watch it over and over with my family. The movie had some of the best child actors I have ever seen. It also had outstanding adult actors, my favorite being Della Reese. It is a movie that the entire family can view together and learn many lessons from it. I recommend this movie to any true movie lover. My hats off to the writer and director of Chasing Secrets.

I know the real little girl portrayed in this movie. I grew up with her. As an adult she would appreciate the comments about how you were moved by the movie. She was involved with the book in the hopes of helping people who went though similar situations. . If you have the time please read Childhoods Thief by Rosemary Evans.

This was an unadvertised gem put on in Australia as a trivial midday movie.

Viewing it reminded me of the impact that "Colour Purple" had when I watched it among a large audience many years ago. That movie profoundly affected me & others around me I observed. But this movie that I'd never heard of, clearly makes a similar impact but in its unique way on its individual subject matter.

I cannot understand why it was not glorified for the inspiring & dramatic suspense that unfolds effortlessly as the characters each do their thing, acting & reacting like ping pong balls in a vacuum. Nothing is contrived. But the willful spirit of the young girl who initially bewilders her wise Negro friends she meets by chance, proves to be a catalyst of emotion, both for the participants on screen, & viewers who are drawn to be MORE than passive detached observers.

"Chasing Secrets" ("The Secret Path") surely will leave a massive impact upon the soul of most anyone who dares to be open to a wonderfully uplifting experience of the best in humanity, even in such strongly adverse circumstances. One of the few times I have ever felt so moved was when I read Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" which has echoed through my heart & soul occasionally, like a welcomed breeze, over the 20-25 years since!

The passion of this beautiful Negro lady, as protagonist of exceptional insight in her pain & past, supported by her soul-mate & husband in their lives of accumulated hardship, activated by her young unlikely friend evolving, transform the injustice layered in the drama, but even more so, the viewer, as the comments of other viewers here at the IMDb website, likewise reflect.

This magnificent movie is not to be missed!

I first saw this movie last year on TV and liked it instantly. Than I saw it again in High School and liked it even more. This made for TV movie starring Della Reese and Madeline Zima was done very well and it was touching for an adult or family audience. The story was about a little girl growing up with nothing in an abusive household and finding what turned out to be her best friend on the other side of the path, Honey. This is a good story of racism and heartbreak. And loyalty and caring.
