Sally!

About This Movie

Sally! is a fascinating dive into the life of Sally Gearhart, a radical figure in the lesbian feminist movement who seems to have slipped through the cracks of history. The documentary balances personal anecdotes with broader social and political contexts, creating a rich tapestry that captures the fervor of the 70s and 80s. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to soak in both the triumphs and struggles of Sally's activism. The interviews are heartfelt and sometimes raw, giving a real sense of the community that surrounded her. It’s a mix of archival footage and present-day reflections that feels both intimate and expansive. What stands out is how it doesn't just recount historical events but also prompts us to reflect on ongoing struggles in the LGBTQ+ fight for visibility and rights.
