The first feature length film produced by an all-female crew, THREE LIVES is a landmark documentary that explores the distinctive experiences of three “ordinary” white women living in America. The subjects include Kate Millet’s younger sister, Mallory Millett-Jones, who recently left her husband for an independent lifestyle in New York City; Lillian Shreve, a middle-aged chemist married contently for twenty-three years; and Robin Mide, a twenty-one-year-old queer artist and activist from Rockaway, Queens. Through candid interviews shot on grainy 16mm film stock, the film evokes solidarity between their varied backgrounds and effectively suggests that the most intimate, everyday experiences are infused with resounding political implications. Often credited solely to Millett, whose seminal text Sexual Politics funded part of its production, THREE LIVES is, in fact, a work of collective filmmaking. As co-director of the film and co-founder of the Women’s Liberation Cinema, Susan Kleckner’s intersectional, careful touch is essential to its lasting resonance.
