New Perspectives Film Series:
TOPP TWINS: UNTOUCHABLE GIRLS
Tuesday, December 14, 7-9 pm
The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls is the first time that the Kiwi entertainment double act, Jools and Lynda Topp’s extraordinary personal story has been told. The film offers a revealing look into the lives of the world’s only comedic, country singing, dancing, and yodeling lesbian twin sisters. Celebrating their half century this year, the Topp twins have attained a unique status within New Zealand culture, and their fans range from hard core political activists, to sheep farmers and “Ladies who Lunch.” Their ability to relate to all kinds of people, and their natural gift for humor, has helped them cross from the fringes to the mainstream. Registration recommended. Megan Smith-Harris will host the Q&A following the film.
