What to Watch Saturday: Melissa Joan Hart stars in Lifetime ‘hoarder’ movie
Dirty Little Secret (8 p.m., Lifetime) - This new movie is billed by Lifetime as being “inspired by true events” and it’s part of their “Ripped From the Headlines” summer movie series. It follows seventeen-year-old Lucy (Lizzie Boys) who has been painfully isolated from her peers for years and refuses to let anyone near her house in order to hide her family secret: the overwhelming mountain of clutter filling every corner of her home. Lucy plans her escape to college while managing her mother Joanna’s (Melissa Joan Hart) hoarding disorder. Her mother is a highly functioning nurse at work, but maintains the dysfunction in their home with an obsessive grip. But after a tragedy, Lucy must decide if she will hide her mother’s secret, or expose it to the world. The movie is inspired by “Dirty Little Secret,” a book for young adults written by C.J. Omololu that examines the impact of hoarding on children.
