Our Hidden Lives (2005)
Directed by Michael Samuels
Overview
Based on the best-selling book by award-winning writer Simon Garfield, four stories from Britain’s ‘lost decade’ (1945 - 1955) are presented from the diaries of four very distinct people. In his book, Garfield selected some of the most expressive diarists, and focused on the post-war years giving a vivid portrait of how Britain coped in the post-war years and how little, or how much, attitudes have changed over the past 60 years. The stories touch on homosexuality, single women making their way in life post-war and a housewife handling the less than welcome return of her husband.
