Outliers and Outlaws is a full-length documentary that uncovers the history of the large and vibrant lesbian community of Eugene, Oregon.
Women who migrated to the small town of Eugene, in the 1960s-80s candidly share stories that reveal the power of courageous and creative living. They all agreed on one thing: everything was going to be different. Branded as outsiders, they forged an alternative community that ultimately transformed mainstream culture and politics
Outliers and Outlaws has Intimate portraits–both then and now–model living in hard times with hope, humor, and commitment to social change
Narrated by musician Jody Bleyle (Team and Hazel) Outliers includes a rich archive of images documenting this groundbreaking community. Featured songs: “Song of the Soul” by Cris Williamson, “Ode to a Gym Teacher” by Meg Christian, and a little-known ode “Eugene Oregon” by Dolly Parton accompany this previously untold story.
