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.
