The Secret Life of Bees


Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life is shaped by her blurred memory of the afternoon of her mother's accidental death. When Lily's black "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three racists in town, they escape to Tiburon, South Carolina, a town that holds the secret to Lily's mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters, Lily is introduced to their mesmerizing world of bees and honey, is forced to confront her own dark past and learns what it means to be a family.

As an avid movie viewer, I must tell everyone to check out "The Secret Life Of Bees" starring Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Sophie Okonedo. I can't articulate into words how great this movie is. From the astonishing cast to mind-blowing plot, it's a movie-must see. It's rare a movie grabs you during the opening and holds you until the end but, Secret Life Of Bees.. does! So with that said, finish checking You Got Tea and head to the movies right now. We need to continue to support our black films.
