Synopsis

In this inspirational drama, an adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's best-selling novel, Dakota Fanning stars as teenager Lily, growing up in America's racially segregated South in the early 1960s. She is haunted by the memory of her late mother and bullied by her bitter father, and when her best friend, African-American housekeeper Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson), is beaten for attempting to register to vote, they decide to run away together. They eventually meet the wise, honey-making Boatwright sisters (Queen Latifah, Sophie Okonedo and Alicia Keys) who just may hold the key to secrets in Lily's, and her mother's, past.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
