About the Film
When Fiona Clark first exhibited her photography of the LGBTQI+ community in 1975, she faced the systemic backlash of an oppressive society. Unafraid, Fiona battles the patriarchy and we discover how her documentation and contributions to the community have helped transform New Zealand society.
