Introduced by KJ Relth and Mark Toscano

“A mix of pseudo-documentary, role-play, and traditional documentation of Barbara Hammer’s international audiences combine to create an engaged intervention of queer and feminist testimony in the socially and politically charged climate of the 1970s and ‘80s.”—KJ Relth and Mark Toscano
