Overview
"Pearls Lost is a short fictional narrative film set in the Appalachian mountains of southeastern Kentucky in the early 1990s. The film illuminates a distinct perspective on being gay at that time and place and the repercussions of disclosing and not disclosing sexual identity in challenging the typical American family structure. Pearls Lost approaches this topic from the lens of a woman, Renee, trying to hold her family together in the face of these decisions outside of her control when her husband comes out to the family." -- Abstract
