CGiii Comment

This is a lovely piece of social history...it just needed a more inventive/creative way of telling it.

Kitty Tsui reading her story is just too simple an approach...more suited to radio/podcast than film. 

No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Kitty Tsui, Chinese American writer, poet, body builder, and lesbian activist, tells of her arrival as an immigrant to San Francisco and, amidst the anti-Vietnam war protests, finding her way to San Francisco State, which influenced her on her path as an activist and poet. In this first ever documentary about a Chinese American Lesbian, Tsui brings to life her coming of age in San Francisco in the 1970s, her challenges, and her continued rise to celebrity by being re-discovered by a whole new generation of Feminists.
