THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES Set in South Carolina in 1964, BEES spins the story of a 14-year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and her unsupportive father, she flees town and is taken in by three black sisters whose beekeeping farm is an enlightened and nurturing oasis in the Jim Crow south. This sweet ensemble piece casts a strong emotional spell with fine performances from Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifa and Jennifer Hudson. |
