Last Ditch

A discussion is under way over whether the viral lesbian bar the Last Ditch should be turned into a movie. Writing in Them, one critic argues that no film is needed, cautioning that a dramatisation could flatten the bar's grassroots appeal and replace a real community space with a commercial product. The piece has opened a wider debate about how queer venues and their stories should be represented on screen, with many wary of Hollywood turning niche community milestones into formulaic content.
