When True Love Wins is a 1915 American film. It was produced by Birmingham, Alabama based Southern Motion Picture Company and adapted from Isaac Fisher's screenplay about prejudice based on pigmentation.[1]

The New York Age reported that it showed to packed audiences at the Champion Theater in Birmingham.[2] The Atlanta Independent described the film as having a skillfully constructed story that featured a happy ending and good moral.[3]

Fisher also wrote "The Man Who Could Turn White", a story adapted to film in 1921 as The Green-Eyed Monster.[4]
