"Free Beer Tomorrow"
Later in the program, we turn our attention to a documentary premiering at the Cleveland International Film Festival on Wednesday night. It looks at the history of Jack's, later named Summit Station, a bar in Columbus that was a haven for gay women for several decades.
The film's co-directors will join us to talk more about the history of the bar, the need for safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, and why both of them wanted to make the film, even though neither is a documentarian.
Guests:
