Great review! I love that you question whether we should care about Lincoln’s sexual orientation, yet argue that the documentary has so much more to say about the sexual orientation historically, socially and culturally.

Thanks Lauren! Yes, the film goes much deeper than the title suggests.

Your documentary skillfully combines historical evidence and insightful interviews to present a compelling argument about Lincoln's life. The attention to detail and inclusion of expert commentary from top academics enrich the narrative. So well written. Great piece.

I didn't actually make the documentary but reviewed it. Did you see it?

Sorry yes. It’s been a long day at school today and my hands feel like hooves! :(

Sounds compelling.

If someone had confronted Lincoln about this in his lifetime, I suspect we wouldn't still know him today as "Honest Abe".

Good point! He's REALLY be "Honest Abe" if he admitted to it though!
