Outliers and Outlaws: Documentary Screening and Q&A
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. Through intimate portraits—both then and now—they show us how to live in hard times with hope, humor, and commitment to social change.
