Womontown tells the inspiring story of a lesbian women’s community that emerged in the early 1990s in Kansas City as a radical project of solidarity and liberation. Set against the backdrop of a heteronormative and patriarchal environment, the film explores the efforts of a group of women to create a living space entirely their own. By purchasing vacant houses and becoming one another’s neighbors, they built a neighborhood—“Womontown”—that became not only a place to live, but a queer utopia embodied through trust, solidarity, and resistance.
