The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees
Bring Your Girlfriends, Sisters, Mothers and Daughters
We should start an all-girl band!

The second movie this week set in 1964 in the USA, this chick-flick takes a look at racial tension in the South. We follow events through the eyes of a 14-year-old white girl, who accidentally killed her mother 10 years ago. After her beloved nanny is arrested and put in hospital, she secretes her out and they go on the run. They end up in a small town where the honey her mother used to love, is made. They are taken in by the honey makers: three very different black sisters, and this is where the story proper starts, as the gals try to sort out their lives while trying not to attract attention which would lead to her father finding where she is. Take tissues.


110 minutes, Mature Accompaniment under 13 (Language, Violence)
Adventure, Drama, Female interest.
