We Are Here

About This Movie

We Are Here is a fascinating deep dive into the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. It captures this unique moment when 300 lesbians converged, bringing their stories and struggles into a global spotlight. The pacing feels almost like a journey, moving from the conference to the vibrant, underground nightlife that became pivotal for the LBT movement in China. The film mixes personal narratives with broader themes of activism, identity, and community, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and expansive. The way it blends archival footage with present-day reflections gives it a distinct feel, and while the director remains anonymous, the voices of the participants resonate powerfully throughout. It's a testament to resilience.
