"How a Community is Defined and Ultimately Defines Itself"29 December 2009Factual110 mins
Co-produced by Big Girls Blouse Productions and Pink Health Ōtautahi over 2006 to 2008, the film asks the question of the people who were there: How did the Queer culture survive and thrive in Christchurch city over five decades from the 1950s onwards? In pursuit of this unique Queer history, two Rainbow filmmakers embark on a riveting social documentary that candidly explores the growth of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender identity in Christchurch in a compelling portrait of cultural metamorphosis and the right to create one’s place in the world. Hard hitting, deeply honest, embracing and at times hysterical, we glimpse the scope of the human struggle and celebration that encapsulates how a community is defined and ultimately defines itself.
