    • Synopsis
    • UNUSUALLY NORMAL spans three eras of women in one family household --the youngest, Madison Ford, draws a family tree with 2 grandmothers and 4 mothers. This documentary builds on intimate family videos, photographs, archival footage and social media postings (their Tik Tok account boasts 200,000 followers) to reflect LGBTQ+ stories from the ‘40s until present day. Through these very personal accounts, It also explores obstacles from family rejection to clandestine love, and the happiness found by allowing themselves to live freely, outing themselves, falling in love and leading life on their terms.
