Synopsis
Sally Gearhart was a lesbian-feminist firebrand, professor, and fantasy author who spearheaded the U.S. lesbian feminist movement in the 1970s and '80s. SALLY! peels back proverbial (and patriarchal) layers to reveal the collectivist reality behind our heroine's story, while exploring the complex relationship between spokeswomen like Sally and movements for social change.
Director's Statement
In 2014, while shooting a documentary about lesbians and aging, I stumbled across octogenarian Sally Gearhart living alone in a remote cabin in the Northern California woods. Charmed by this fascinating woman—wearing paint-stained jeans, a rumpled T-shirt, and bright pink lipstick—I soon realized she had once been a beloved lesbian-feminist icon and began recording her story. I filmed Sally over the years until her death in 2021 and had the deep pleasure of connecting with dozens of her equally brilliant friends, colleagues, students, former lovers, and fellow activists. As a gay woman in my 60s, I hope to underscore the fact that both lesbians and older women are too often missing from the picture. Our struggle to find footage and photos of Sally—and even to secure funding—says a great deal about the underrepresentation that persists even within the already underrepresented LGBTQ+ community. In my own small way, I hope to change that with Sally!. Lastly, my mom came out at 50—when I did at 18—and Sally! is also a tribute to her courage in being true to herself, even while being genuinely afraid.
