Q SHORTS!

 Outspoken lesbian trucker Shelle Lichti crisscrosses America behind the wheel of the Rainbow Rider, her unmistakable Pride-wrapped 18-wheeler, with her chihuahua riding shotgun. Facing hostility, middle fingers and the occasional unexpected ally, Shelle turns life on the road into a mission of visibility, connection and community for LGBTQ+ truckers.

Iconic queer photographer Jill Posener’s fearless compulsion to document provides us with intimate views of radical feminist London, Bay Area ’90s lesbian culture, and contemporary unhoused East Bay communities. A lifelong rebel, she has always felt “at odds” and now contemplates where she may fit for her final chapter.

Journalist and organizer Ivy Young knows mainstream society won’t preserve her story after she’s gone. So she rallies her niece Jade, historian Mariah and lifelong friend, QDoc alum Catherine Gund (CHAVELA), to explore her remarkable archive, illuminating Ivy’s life across queer generations and forging a bridge between memory, activism and identity.
