Интересные факты

The Secret Path is a 1999 American historical drama television film directed by Bruce Pittman. Adapted from Rose Mary Evans' 1994 memoir Childhood's Thief: One Woman's Journey of Healing from Sexual Abuse, the film stars Della Reese, Ossie Davis, and Crystal Bernard. It premiered in the United States on CBS on April 4, 1999.

Production

The film is loosely based on Childhood's Thief: One Woman's Journey of Healing from Sexual Abuse, the 1994 memoir of therapist Rose Mary Evans. Evans details her accounts of treating JoAnn, a 47-year-old abuse survivor who Evans treated in the years between 1980 and 1986. JoAnn suffered from severe depression and had little memory of her childhood but was determined to reconstruct her past.

The film was developed by Robert Greenwald Productions, with writers Bill C. Davis and Quinton Peeples adapting Evans' memoir, emphasizing themes of interracial solidarity and survival of childhood abuse. Principal photography took place in Ontario, Canada in late 1998.
