What do the religious right and the gay liberation movement have in common? Both were fortified by the efforts of one woman ‚ Anita Bryant. Part document and part poem, the film brings us back to the late 1970’s and reflects on Bryant’s life and the impact she had. Comprised of news footage, commercials and Bryant’s own home movies.
