Anna Broinowski

Documentary

The sexual label - gay, lesbian, bi, straight - has become a political tool which can either empower or dispossess its user. This film examines the complex tensions associated with these issues. It sets out to map the valid principles of empowerment underlying the use of sexual labels both past and present and charts the shifting relationship between the mainstream and non-straight communities.
