Film Screening: Hannah Free
Out For Reel Film Series: Sharon Gless, (Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk, Burn Notice) stars in this passionate lesbian drama about a lifelong love affair between an independent spirit and the woman she calls home. Hannah and Rachel grew up as little girls in the same small Midwest town where traditional gender expectations eventually challenge their deep love for one another. Hannah becomes an adventurous, unapologetic lesbian and Rachel a strong but quiet homemaker. Weaving back and forth between past and present, the film reveals how the women maintained their devoted love relationship despite a marriage, a world war, infidelities, and family denial. A rich, real, and satisfying story.
