Just Because of Who We Are
Plot Synopsis by Carrie Downes

In this disturbing documentary, the silence is broken surrounding sexual violence against lesbians. Through personal interviews, the film explores homophobia-fueled harassment and sexual violence, as well as the perpetuation of such violence through anti-gay activism and attitudes. "A very touching tape. It provokes the desire to protest, to change society, to go out and picket, to cry out loud -- to fight for personal freedom and the right to choice" (Roberto Olivo, New York Native).
