I enjoyed all the short stories
I enjoyed all the short stories. Some of them left me wondering what happened next...while the ending credits rolled. However, I really liked having different stories on one dvd representing different cultures during various time periods.

High Heels on Wheel is Amazing
I just bought the DVD "She likes Girls 2" and the first short documentary is an 11 minute GEM titled "High Heels on Wheels". This is a great inside look at women's empowerment long before there was such a word or idea featuring old clips of black and white Roller Derby. This documentary is fun and inspiring.

8 entertaining and interesting shorts
This is a good collection of shorts. They are very varied:1/ High Heels on Wheels - a documentary about roller derby (interesting and entertaining)2/ Peace Talk - Swedish short about first love and its complications (very well acted by the two girls)3/ Private Life - 50s period piece about forbidden love (I liked this story and the acting by Lucy Liemann a lot)4/ Last Exit - Out Cody visits closeted - and married - ex gf and her husband with her current gf in tow and it's not uncomplicated (well acted and good story)5/ Brooklyn’s Bridge To Jordan - Brooklyn's partner is injured in a car accident and Brooklyn is met with homophobia by the hospital and her partner's family. (we've seen this story a few times before. It's still relevant and important, but this one didn't really grab me)6/ Triple Minority - Black lesbian woman from a christian family is trying to reconcile with her parents on the advice of her girlfriend. (well acted and good, but sad, story)7/ Such Great Joy - Woman brings her gf back to meet the family for the first time and to celebrate their engagement. Unfortunately misunderstandings lead to a somewhat different visit than first planned. (sweet and nice, but nothing special)8/ Family Reunion - Katrin lives in NY where she is in a relationship with a woman. When she goes back to her native Iceland for a family visit, she must decide whether she is ready to finally come out, but maybe the secret is already out? (Enjoyable story with good acting and a nice setting).Extra feature about NCLR (National Centre for Lesbian Rights) which is very interesting.All in all I think it is well worth the money.
