OUTITUDE: Irish lesbian documentary

The lesbian community hasn't always been the most visible element of the lgbtq family. In this documentary we explore why that might be so. We look at the roots of the lesbian community in Ireland, chart our progression through grass-root activism, collectives, community, academia, and politics and capture our rise towards greater equality. It has not always been an easy journey and we have not yet achieved an equal and fair society for women in the main but we are making progress. In looking to the future it is imperative that we do not lose our past. There have been many women activists, researchers, speakers, warriors who have worked on our behalf to bring about equality. Our sense of solidarity, and our collective efforts to form a lesbian community, in a catholic country still affected by religiosity must not be forgotten. For the lesbians who bravely spoke out at a time when it was not popular to do so, those who revealed intimate details of their lives on radio, on tv, publicly and privately, those who lived their lives OUT LOUD AND PROUD this documentary is for you.
