Filmed on the streets of Melbourne, Creed’s pioneering documentary aimed to dispel the myths surrounding the nascent LGBTQIA+ community in 1970s Australia.

In a series of moving interviews, numerous queer people open up about their lives, their relationships and the trials that come with living in an intolerant society that oppresses queer culture. A revelation when premiered at the Melbourne Filmmakers Co-Op in 1975, it went on to screen at the groundbreaking International Womens Film Festival in the same year and has become a landmark of Australian queer cinema.
