CGiii Comment
Outliers and Outlaws is a full-length documentary uncovering the history of the large and vibrant lesbian community of Eugene, Oregon. Hundreds of women and lesbian-identified people migrated to Eugene in the 1960s-80s. They candidly share stories revealing the power of courageous and creative living. Branded as outsiders, they forged an alternative community that ultimately transformed mainstream culture and politics. The film is part of a rich digital humanities project that includes a digital archive, traveling museum exhibit, and storytelling series through the Eugene Lesbian History Project.
