Outliers and Outlaws

A story of lesbian world-builders, OUTLIERS AND OUTLAWS uncovers the fabulous history of a large and vibrant lesbian community in Eugene, Oregon. Women who migrated to this small town in the 1960s-80s candidly share stories about the power of courageous and creative world-building. Intimate portraits–both then and now–model living in hard times with hope, humor, and commitment to social change. Narrated by musician Jody Bleyle (Team Dresch and Hazel) Outliers includes a rich archive of images documenting this groundbreaking community. Featured songs: “Song of the Soul” by Cris Williamson, “Ode to a Gym Teacher” by Meg Christian, and a little-known ode “Eugene Oregon” by Dolly Parton accompany this previously untold story. Participants and filmmakers will be in attendance for Q&A after select screenings, as noted. Edited Keribeth ElliottOutliers and Outlaws showing at: February 28, 5:00 pm
