"The Aggressives": Race & Sexuality Film and Lunch Discussion
Abigail Francis
Fri Jan 19, 12-01:30pm, Rainbow Lounge, Rainbow Lounge

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

In this striking and illuminating documentary, director Daniel Peddle explores and exposes the secret subculture of New York lesbians living as "agressives". Often mistaken for men, these women range from pretty tomboys to
the blatantly butch, boldly creating their own identities outside of society's established sexual categories. Stripped of pretense, they lead us to fashion shoots and prison cells to reveal their work lives, love lives and social lives. The resulting documentary is the culmination of five years spent uncovering the no appologies lifestyle of six self-identified agressives as they defign their dreams, share their most intimate secrets and reveal their deepest fears.
