Product Overview

Gabrielle O'Brien's impressively researched and eloquently argued account of this 1980 documentary by Digby Duncan and the One in Seven Collective serves as a reminder of how intricately interwoven film and politics can be. It engages closely with the film's place within queer cinema and queer activism in Australia, and sees the work as a turning point in screen-based discourses on what was then a highly contentious subject matter.
