Friday October 6 at 20.00, Gasverket, Torsgatan 22

A documentary about The Lesbian Avengers, a bold and brave activist group in New York. We get to follow their first year, from their initial groundbreaking demo in front of an elementary school in ’92 to the incredible Dyke March in DC, where the Avengers ate fire in front of the White House.

The film is not only a historical document, but also gives tips about how to organize successful actions and motivate participants. Edited by two Avengers, Janet Baus and Su Friedrich, the film was a group effort, with a number of Avengers contributing.
