With a fistful of credit cards, a lucky run at the horse track, and chutzpah for days, Franco Stevens launched Curve, the best-selling lesbian magazine. Groundbreaking from its start in 1990, it was a visionary celebration of lesbian life!

In this documentary, with the future of Curve uncertain, Stevens and director Jen Rainin explore lesbian visibility, community, legacy, and the need to evolve, through the use of archival footage and interviews with LGBTQ+ leaders, artists, and “celesbians,” including Melissa Etheridge, Jewelle Gomez, Denise Frohman, Kate Kendell, and Lea DeLaria.
