Overview

A video essay about the personal and political context of a landmark lesbian feminist documentary film from 1977 called "In the Best Interests of the Children" about lesbian mothers fighting to regain custody of their children in the 1970s. As a nearly forgotten period of LGBTQ+ history, this documentary short introduces us to now retired filmmaker Frances Reid (award winning cinematographer and director) and her โ€œstep-daughterโ€ Julie Stevens while they look through the filmโ€™s archives, discuss the making of the film and their personal relationship.
