| Summary |
Ruthie and Connie are in many ways typical Jewish New Yorkers. They married men in the 1950s, became mothers, and eventually divorced. But when Ruthie and Connie fell in love, these "ordinary" housewives became plainspoken activists and international icons of equality.. Audience Award Winner for Outstanding Documentary at L.A. Outfest, and Winner of Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival.. “Two of the funniest and most outrageous queer activists you’ll ever see. Whether they are in City Hall, on the shores of West Palm Beach, or dancing on the Coney Island boardwalk, they move, enlighten, and inspire.” - Dennis Harvey, Variety. "A wonderful, wonderful 54-minute documentary ... Never once holding back for a second, they unleash their very souls for the camera, and beautiful souls they are, without a doubt. No one will leave without smiling or shedding a tear.” - Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner |
