  • Director: Joyce Warshow

CGiii Comment

Using interviews, photos and archival footage, Hand on the Pulse is the poignant story of Joan Nestle, political and sexual 'bad girl.' Hand on the Pulse traces Joan's life; finding her community in Greenwich Village in the 1950's, celebrating the body in her writings and in her public readings in her black slip, having a lesbian archives in her home for 25 years, teaching students from colonized backgrounds, participating in the Black civil rights movement as a freedom rider, becoming a feminist, and helping to forge a new lesbian and gay consciousness through grass roots organizing. Now in her 60's, Joan continues to celebrate the body as an aging woman and as a woman with cancer.
