Aside from San Francisco, perhaps the only place better to celebrate lesbian and gay pride is Sydney, Australia, where each February hundreds of thousands of lesbians and gays arrive for Mardi Gras. Feed Them to the Cannibals is the colorful story of a year in lesbian and gay life in Sydney, both backstage and on the streets. It offers a concise history of the Australian gay movement (and is especially interesting about the earlier divisions between men and women), and culminates in the largest open-air gay event in the Southern Hemisphere. Along the way, we also get to enjoy the sights of the pre–Mardi Gras Sleaze Ball, which leaves Sydney's straights speechless, or envious, or both.

Riyad Wadia's spectacular biography of India's legendary stunt actress captures the unique persona of the Australian-born femme-firecracker who thrilled audiences with her daring portrayals of fearless, rough-and-ready heroines. From her first starring role as Hunterwali (The Lady with the Whip), through such hits as Diamond Queen, Lady Robinhood, and Jungle Goddess, Nadia dominated the Indian box office. The first true feminist of Indian cinema, Nadia's physical prowess and selfless fearlessness made her an idol for the oppressed peasantry of pre-Independence India (as she preached tolerance and secularism) and challenged the male chauvanism of the day. Not a lesbian herself, but certainly a strong feminist, Nadia's exploits should be immensely enjoyable to lesbian and gay audiences for her charm, charisma, and, of course, camp value.  "She was a big, butch Zorro-type who socked men in the jaw and leapt around with a whip."—Variety
