OUTLIERS AND OUTLAWS uncovers the history of a large and vibrant lesbian community in Eugene, Oregon. Lesbians who migrated to this small city in the 1960s-90s 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 AND OUTLAWS 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.
