This week Sara and Kim talk true love with a pair of real-life love stories in the documentaries The Loving Story from 2011, and A Secret Love from 2020. Each of these films presents the lives and loves of one couple trying to find peace, happiness, and security in a society that does not accept their love as valid. These intimate human portraits are set against a backdrop of discrimination, threats of violence, and activism.
