ABOUT THE FILM

"SALLY!" tells the electrifying story of Sally Gearhart—the lesbian-feminist firebrand, professor, and fantasy author who spearheaded the U.S. lesbian feminist movement of the 1970s and '80s, making an indelible impact on LGBTQ+ equality and women’s rights. She was a brilliant, charismatic superstar who inspired thousands. So why have you never heard of her?

Peeling back layers of historical erasure, "SALLY!" reveals the complex relationship between spokeswomen like Gearhart and the collective movements for social change they helped ignite. Through rich archival footage, personal insights, and intimate moments from Sally’s final years, this documentary explores both her powerful legacy and the vibrant feminist communities that shaped her.

Funny, provocative, and deeply moving, "SALLY!" asks critical questions about how we remember feminist icons, what their legacies mean today—and how Sally’s story might still inspire us to build a better future.

Join entertainment journalist Loren King and film Director & Producer Deborah Craig in a virtual discussion on Tuesday, May 27th, at 6:00 p.m. EST.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

Aired March 25, 2025
Change, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act
Change, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act tells the emotional and dramatic story of the decades-long push for equality and accessibility that culminated in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. While curb cuts, ramps at building entrances, and braille on elevator buttons seem commonplace today, they were once the subject of a pitched battle that landed on the steps of Congress. Told through the voices of key participants and witnesses, the film highlights the determined people who literally put their bodies on the line to achieve their goal and change the lives of all Americans. A story of courage and perseverance, the film brings to life one of the great civil rights movements in American history, where ordinary people made their voices heard and Congress responded. A testament to the power of coalition building and bipartisan compromise, the passage of the ADA is a shining example of democracy in action.
