Chris & Don

A Love Story

The true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Stories was the basis for all incarnations of Cabaret) and American portrait painter Don Bachardy, thirty years his junior. From Isherwood's Kit-Kat-Club years in Germany to the couple's first meeting on the sun-kissed beaches of 1950s Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to dazzling life by a treasure trove of multimedia.

With Isherwood's status as an out-and-proud gay maverick, and Bachardy's eventual artistic triumph away from the considerable shadow of his life partner, CHRIS & DON: A LOVE STORY is above all a joyful celebration of a most extraordinary couple.

Winner of the Jury Award at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Nominated for the Best Documentary at the Chlotrudis Awards.

"A charming, illuminating portrait of the complex and storied queer romance between Isherwood and Bachardy." - Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
