Lady Trojans

Love, heartbreak, coming out and coming of age as seen through the eyes of a high school basketball team.

It’s the early 1990s in Tuscon, Arizona and the word around high school is that the basketball team is full of lesbians. And so, of course, sixteen-year-old Anna Hesik joins up. She also falls head over heels for Quinn, the "mac daddy" of the team, a handsome butch on a mission to seduce as many girls as possible. Grainy VHS footage of slumber parties and Salt-N-Pepa dance routines is intercut with dramatic re-enactments and interviews with former team members. Lady Trojans explores sexuality, love, heartbreak, coming out and coming of age. This is a film for all of us who stood on the sidelines as a teenager - go Lady Trojans!
