Jewelle Gomez is a powerful and extraordinarily talented visionary in her work as writer, activist, and community-builder. Not limited to her vanguard work The Gilda Stories, Jewelle’s been at the foreground of myriad culture and movement spaces since the 1960s. Through humorous and thoughtful interviews with Jewelle and a group of friends and collaborators (including Dorothy Allison, Cheryl Clarke, and Ajuan Mance), this doc by Madeleine Lim (Sambal Belacan in San Francisco, Frameline21) radiates with the warmth and sharp intelligence of a prolific Black and Native femme lesbian feminist who’s an enduring force across LGBTQ+ organizations and communities, as it explores the lineage that has shaped and been shaped by Jewelle.

This double bill of portraits of queer Bay Area activists highlights trailblazing lesbian writer Jewelle Gomez and Anjali Rimi, a trans immigrant who followed her passion for social justice from India to San Francisco.
