ZHAO Jing SHI Tou 2015 China Documentary color 60min Chinese DCP
What happens when 300 lesbians from all over the world attend the largest United Nations conference? How did two busloads of lesbians headed to an underground nightclub help spark the birth of a lala (LBT) movement in China? At the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, the first ever lesbian tent at an UN NGO Forum was created. At the tent, ideas were shared, connections were made, and identities were assured …with energy for change in growth.
