My Failure to Assimilate
1995, 20:00
video clip

My Failure to Assimilate is an essay and a documentary examining the failure of society to accept feminist ideologies to a point where feminism could have an appreciable, lasting or functional effect on the lives of ordinary women as a class. This video represents a deeply personal expression of liberation as well as frustration, and draws conclusions about feminism, love, and sex from personal experience.

Named Best Documentary at the Turin Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, 1996.
