Queer Girl Film Club is on a mission this week to persuade ten of you dear listeners to watch Saving Face (2004) for the first time. That’s right, we’re all in on the positivity this week as this underrated gem gets the respect and love it deserves from the team. A tale of a Chinese American family where the daughter is a lesbian surgeon and the mum is pregnant out of wedlock, it’s a glorious, warm and funny film about breaking with tradition.
Join us as we discuss a film more people should see. Along the way the gang talk about language, how LGBTQ+ people navigate family obligations and traditions, parental homophobia, statistics on the number of female surgeons in the UK, and a big detour into lacrosse.
