Gearhart was a lesbian-feminist pioneer, professor of Women and Gender Studies, and science fiction author. In the 1970s and 1980s, she led the lesbian-feminist movement in the USA. SALLY! peels off proverbial (and patriarchal) layers to reveal the collectivist reality behind the story of our heroine. The film examines the complex relationship between Sally and other activists and movements for social change. A long overdue monument to the forgotten key figure of lesbian self-determination.
