Documentaries (25 min+)
Labor of Love (2013) 25 min, is a 20-25 minute documentary that explores the mystery of fading lesbian institutions in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. The film documents the struggle female LBTQ leaders face – both historical and financial – as they seek to create a safe space for women without dividing the community. “Labor of Love” focuses on a sector of women that society has quietly displaced, a brave group that must actively fight to rebuild spaces that fostered community among the women of the LGBTQ community.
