Sally Gearhart was a charismatic radical lesbian activist, author, and academic who spearheaded the 1970s and 80s lesbian feminist movement, yet her remarkable contributions have been largely unrecognized. This documentary changes that. Opening short: I Stole Your Ashes
This fascinating documentary takes you on a wild lesbian safari through the life and times of Sally Gearhart, the radical lesbian activist who spearheaded the feminist movement in the 1970s and 80s. Many words have been used to describe Sally: charismatic, dynamic, complex; a firebrand, an acclaimed author and professor. But she has remained, essentially, a hidden figure, and her remarkable contributions to LGBTQ history and culture have gone largely unrecognized. And now, her story is more relevant than ever as we wage our own battles for social justice.
