OUT: THE MAKING OF A REVOLUTIONARY

In 1985, lesbian activist Laura Whitehorn was convicted of bombing the United States Capitol building and "conspiring to influence, change and protest policies of the United States government through violent and illegal means." Her actions were not random or spontaneous. This is a story of the making of a revolutionary.

OUT chronicles the life of this courageous woman. From growing up in a liberal middle-class Jewish household, to involvement with radical leftist organizations of the 1960's and 1970's, to her 20 year sentence in prison (of which she served 14), Whitehorn has seen the twentieth century evolve, while the injustices surrounding class, race and gender remain the same. Articulate, candid interviews interwoven with compelling archival footage help OUT capture the portrait of a modern American hero. Through her compassionate voice, Whitehorn leaves no doubt that the revolution comes from within.

Plus short:PINKO FAG JEW. One of Seattle's original activists, the late Faygele BenMiriam, is the focus in this touching work-in-progress.
