Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, The

Aroview: Quality BBC biopic from director James Kent (TESTAMENT OF YOUTH) about the life of Anne Lister, a 19th-century Yorkshire landowner who defied society by becoming an industrialist and conducting many lesbian affairs, which were discovered through her extensive diary keeping.

LGBT+ history buffs may need to watch this alongside GENTLEMAN JACK, which also depicts Lister's life, since the approach to the material varies, as does Maxine Peake and Suranne Jones's interpretations of this trailblazing figure.
