Lesbian Historical Documentary: Outliers and Outlaws

Outliers and Outlaws reveals the history of a large and vibrant lesbian community in Eugene, Oregon. Women who migrated to this small town in the 1960s to 90s candidly share stories about the power of courageous and creative world-building. Intimate portraits from both then and now model living in hard times with hope, humor, and a 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.

Director Judith Raskin, PhD, will be present for an in-person Q&A after the movie screening.
