ALL WE’VE GOT is an inspiring and timely documentary about the power of community and the crucial impact of sharing physical space. Focused on LGBTQI+ women, it offers insights that resonate with anyone seeking to build resilient communities.

At a time when queer and trans individuals are under attack in many parts of the country and hundreds of queer spaces have closed, this film offers an insider’s view of the powerful cultural and social justice work we can accomplish when we come together. It also explores why preserving these spaces benefits everyone.

Director Alexis Clements takes us on a sweeping journey from Oklahoma to Texas to New York City, and beyond, showing us that the places where we seek shelter are more inclusive and active than ever.

“In a time of cultural anxiety about the erasure of our Lesbian, feminist, and queer histories, Clements brings alive five sites where progressive collectives subvert brutal capitalism and racist exclusions with joy, shared struggle, respected desire, and gender complexities. For historians, for community activists, for poets, for philosophers of change, for the young and for the old, All We’ve Got is a text, a vision, a challenge, and a pleasure.”

“All We’ve Got is a beautiful rumination on community, resilience, and resistance. Unlike so many laments about the disappearance of LGBTQ spaces for women, the film shows us a diverse range of ongoing spaces for queer women. In the end, it is a DIY call to action and a celebration of the creativity, moxie, and determination of LGBTQ women and the inclusive communities they insist upon creating and sharing.”

“Using impressive archival footage and intergenerational collaboration, Clements weaves together a story of identity, intersectionality, history, community, and family. Her incisive critique of gentrification examines interlocking systems of power under capitalism that create barriers for these communities, yet her repositioning of these voices and stories offers much corrective hope for a better world in which lesbian, dyke, queer, and trans folks survive and thrive across race, place, and space.“

“All We’ve Got is a vibrant, vital contribution to the archive of queer history with its attention to the human geographies of identity and community formation. Giving life to bars, organizations, and gatherings across the United States, we see the range of activism and political organizing, pleasure and joy, conflict and debate these sites nurtured.”

“Beyond stories of lesbian bar closures, lesbians, dykes, queers, and trans and gender non-conforming people need a movie to make sense of their spaces and histories. All We’ve Got is that film.”
