“It both cut me open and inspired me to “be a change maker”. It struck all the right chords, never wallowing in the victimhood, but never diminishing of impact either. If you can catch this doc, you should.

Synopsis

WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY
Regan Latimer
CAST
Lindy Zucker
PRODUCERS
Jill Golick, Regan Latimer
RUNTIME
105 minutes
In Bulletproof: A Lesbian’s Guide to Surviving the Plot, filmmaker Regan Latimer takes a humorous, insightful, and deeply personal look at queer representation on television and the power of media to shape how we see ourselves.
Witty, fast-paced and laced with pop culture references, Latimer journeys across North America and beyond in her quest to understand the forces that influence the stories we see on our screens.
Original animation and personal anecdotes are interwoven with wide-ranging conversations with television insiders, LGBTQ+ community advocates and people who just love to watch TV.
As Latimer navigates an ever-evolving media landscape, the filmmaker learns first hand that representation done well has the power to transform.
