The Secret Path

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".

When I started watching this film I had no idea it was going to have such an impact on me.

I'm not much into what some may call tear jerquers, but this film really impacted on the way that I'll see such film in the future. The combination of superb acting,, the overall story, and the personal touch from the characters, made for a superb film experience.

The story consist of a neglected young white girl, from a family who's patriarch grandpa Foley mistreats her and tries to force her into prostitution, and into hustling soldiers for money. She resists , and find the love and affection she didn't get at home in a black childless couple , excellently played by Ossie Davis, and Della Reese.

The bond that develops between the girl during the ages of 7 and 14 is really unique, equally moving is that despite coming from a dysfunctional family she becomes under the guidance of the couple a fine young lady.

This is a film that should be watched by all. The storyline is among the best I've watched.

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.

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.

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.
