Documentary on the ground-breaking scholar and cultural anthropologist Esther Newton. Agility, persistence and passionate inquiry have driven Esther Newton’s survival as a butch lesbian, octogenarian athlete, and pioneering scholar whose life’s work has influenced generations of LGBTQ activists and researchers. This documentary tells her story of awakening to gay life in the 1950s, the women’s liberation movement and lesbian-feminism, drag culture and forging a butch identity which for her is now in conversation with trans-masculinity.

Director: Jean Carlomusto, United States, 2022, 92 minutes, English, Unclassified 15+
