The Tragic True Story Behind "Carol"

Most of us know that the classic lesbian movie "Carol" (starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) is based on the book "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, but not many people know that the book was inspired by a creepy real life event... that ended in tragedy. Watch the video to hear the tragic true story behind Carol and the honestly kind of miraculous way this important piece of queer literature came to be.
