We are drawn to stories of individuals who not only embody the pursuit of excellence, but also have humility.

Despite the film’s barriers, Babbit, Friedberg and Kamerman are all pleased with its longevity, particularly as they’ve seen it gain cachet with an entirely new generation this past decade. “We were just making our weirdo indie film of queer joy and female power in a vacuum.”

The U.S. State Department and the Pentagon had no immediate comment about the airstrike or the U.S. relationship with the Nigerian Air Force. Before now, neither the Nigerian government nor the military had provided any public explanation for what happened on Jan. 24.
