Outliers and Outlaws

“A story of lesbian world-builders.”

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, Outliers includes a rich archive of images documenting this groundbreaking community.
