video night
Herland presents Left Lane: On the Road with Alix Olson at 7 pm on Saturday, June 17 for this month’s video night. Samantha Farinella’s documentary is a love letter to her subject. Effusive accolades from fans, colleagues, and figures in the feminist and gay-rights movement fill every frame. The film offers an extended glimpse into the mind and motivations of this thought-provoking artist, whose feminist poetry issues a slap in the face to the patriarchy. Behind the scenes during Alix’s cross-country tour, Left Lane follows her through college campuses, women’s festivals, and high schools, inspiring young poets and provoking audiences with her incisive wit.
