Sisters in the Life: First Love

Sisters in the Life: First Love is a dramatic documentary/narrative staring Donna Rose, a thirtysomething black lesbian. It is based, in part, on the true story of her first experience with love as a fourteen-year-old. It's set in the 1970s. At 14, Donna has a boyfriend, Felton and a best girlfriend Karen. In flashbacks, which are recreated with teen actresses, Donna focuses on the feelings she had for her girlfriend Karen. In the contemporary/documentary section, the true story of her current day relationship with her girlfriend provides a romantic parallel.
