The secret diaries of Miss Anne Lister is one of those lesbian movies based on real life events. Anne Lister was a wealthy woman from Yorkshire who lived in the 18oo's and was a lesbian. And being a lesbian in the 1800's was obviously a no-no so she had to keep her love for women secret. Having said that she lived with her lesbian partner, good for her.
Anne Lister kept several diaries and the movie, the secret diaries of Miss Anne Lister, is based on the contents of her Diary
The movie was shown at the 24th BFI London lesbian and gay film festival in March and is due to air on British television, BBC2 on the 31st of May at 9pm
