Isla's Way

Aussie documentary observing the indomitable 87-year-old Isla: community elder, miniature horse lover, and definitely not a lesbian.

"Isla is a feisty, stubborn and resilient octogenarian who lives with Susan, who is a lesbian. But Isla won’t be pigeonholed, instead calling herself 'a widow', having been married previously to a man with whom she raised four children on her farm in country South Australia. Refusing to relinquish her passion for horse driving carriages, Isla remains active in her community no matter her age, even as the naysayers insist her time to slow down has come." (MQFF33)
