A group of women who dared to change their worlds. The film documents the first twenty years of Australia's Jewish Lesbian Group of Victoria, the first LGBTIQ Jewish group to come out publicly to express pride in their Lesbian and Jewish identities and fight for visibility and against all forms of discrimination. 'It's Who We Are' provides an intimate view of the controversies these feisty women have confronted as they have challenged hetero-sexism, lesbophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia in their communities, and Australia. Along the way, they have created a community that honors their Jewish and Lesbian cultures. In changing their communities, these women have also been changed. The film documents the first 20 years of Australia’s Jewish Lesbian Group of Victoria, the first LGBTIQ Jewish group to come out publicly to express pride in their Lesbian and Jewish identities and fight for visibility and against all forms of discrimination.
