In 1995, 95 lesbian activists traveled to Beijing to participate in the Fourth UN World Conference on Women – a historic moment, as for the first time, an openly lesbian woman was given official speaking time. This was accompanied by the largest visibility campaign for queer women worldwide to date.

A quarter of a century later, director Bev Palesa Ditsie looks back: What has changed since then? In her search for answers, she creates a moving portrait of pioneers, international solidarity, and lifelong friendship.

After the film: Q&A with South African director and activist Beverley Ditsie (Online) moderated by Ulrike Lunacek (Vice Chairwoman of Frauen*solidarität, former national and European politician for the Greens)
