One of the most important films at DOC NYC and of 2026, LESBIAN LINES demands to be seen. The film is the story of a group of women who came together in the bad old days to set up a hotline where lesbians needing advice or hope could call and talk to a friendly voice. Along the way they ended up saving lives and charting the history of what being a lesbian in Ireland was like.
This film is glorious on so many levels. The act of watching it puts you in the darkness of the 1960s and 70s when one could not be openly queer. The whole film is shot to make us feel what these women felt. More importantly it gives us the words and thoughts of the women on the line and in the world. It really shows us what dark place these women were in and why we can never go back.
I am somewhere beyond words.
You must see this film because it is a reminder of what the world was once like and how some people had to fight like hell to change the world.
Highly recommended
