Join PSL Maine for a screening of Alice Lebow's short film 'Outlaw,' "A video-verité manifesto made with self-identified gender outlaw, author and activist, Leslie Feinberg (1949-2014). Raw and confrontational, this film asks its audience to examine their assumptions about the "nature" of gender and calls for more sensitivity and awareness of the human rights and the dignity of transgendered people. Feinberg is widely known for being the author of Stone Butch Blues, an account of a working-class lesbian who passes as a man. She was also a lifelong socialist activist, which for her was inseparable from her work for trans liberation. After this short film (it's around 25 minutes) a short slideshow on Feinberg's written works and political ethos. We briefly outline the content/import of each of Feinberg's books and how they fit into her life of activism. Lastly, we'll have a discussion around the film and slideshow.

This event is co-sponsored by the ECC.
