PRECIOUS. Set in Harlem,1980’s. The story of oneyoung women’s  life. Not a Black story as some have said. No need to be embarrassed. There are plenty of stories like hers in homes around the globe. The movie is at times disturbing, at others triumphant. Hers is a world of poverty, incest, sexual and mental and physical abuse, rape. Based on the novel PUSH by Sapphire. Produced and directed by Lee Daniels.
