A Secret Love

... about two sprightly ladies overcoming the prejudice of generations to be together. Hopefully this goes someway to removing those prejudices, indeed any prejudice that continues to exist today, through the joy of two people in love with each other. Also a documentary about them growing older, the dilemmas of friends and family on how best to support them as they do - has parallels and dilemmas that we will all have to face sometime, that is if we're not facing them already.

Yes, these incredible women had to defy the odds in their time of age when society was so against them and their community. They are so incredibly strong and influential for doing that. But the story is ultimately about the love that two people share for each other despite anything else. I was so incredibly touched by this story because at the end of the day when you're old and grey the only thing that matters most in life is that you shared it with the person that makes you happy and your family. This documentary perfectly conveys that.

I'm a 30 year old, cigar smoking, fully tattooed guy. I never cry. I cried through this documentary. Not because it was all romantic. But because it was so real. I was moved by the honesty in this documentary. It was about forbidden love, but also about letting go. Just one little remark was that Pat was maybe slightly portrayed as someone who wasn't always honest and authentic. I just saw a woman who always was used to be in control and was maybe jealous about the intense bond Terry had with her family. But you could tell she loved Terry with all her heart. She clearly had trouble with letting go of the control. I believe Terry knew this. God, thank you for sharing this beautiful story. I do hope the family is still in touch with Pat and still taking care of her.

I've read a lot of books, but I've never read a story about a woman falling in love with another woman. I hope you feel the same way. It's one of the most beautiful notes Pat ever wrote to me

Love is beautiful. This is a must watch and a lesson to all of us that we only have 1 life to live so live it as best you know and with love
