Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives

6.7 85 mins Documentary   History   1992
ONF | NFB  
Director(s): Lynne Fernie Aerlyn Weissman

Ten women in Canada talk about being lesbian in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s: discovering the pulp fiction of the day about women in love, their own first affairs, the pain of breaking up, frequenting gay bars, facing police raids, men's responses, and the etiquette of butch and femme roles. Interspersed among the interviews and archival footage are four dramatized chapters from a pulp novel, "Forbidden Love".
