(U.S., 65 MIN., DIRECTED BY COURTNEY HERMANN) _Outliers and Outlaws_ uncovers the history of a large and vibrant lesbian community in Eugene, Oregon. Lesbians who migrated to this small town from the 1960s–1990s candidly share stories about the power of courageous and creative world-building. Intimate portraits—both then and now—model living in hard times with hope, humor, and commitment to social change. Narrated by musician Jody Bleyle (Team Dresch and Hazel), the film includes a rich archive of images documenting this groundbreaking community. Featured songs include _Song of the Soul_ by Cris Williamson, _Ode to a Gym Teacher_ by Meg Christian, and a little-known ode, _Eugene, Oregon_, by Dolly Parton, which accompany this previously untold story.
