Bette Bourne: It Goes with the Shoes

It tells the story of gay rights icon, Bette Bourne who took on the establishment with high heels and lipstick, playing a vital role in the fight for gay liberation during the 70's & 80's.

With camp-wit and outrageous humour the film sheds light on a hidden part of gay history: from the early meetings of the Gay Liberation Front, to the first mass gay protests in Europe. The film follows Bette?s life in a gay drag commune in London?s Notting Hill and then on to a European road trip with drag superstars, The Bloolips, a real life Priscilla Queen of the Desert adventure of discovery and politics.
