Three years after their fallout, former writing partners Sam and Chris reunite to rewrite Sam’s sapphic Amelia Earhart biopic before a career-changing meeting. But as the script’s romance between Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt starts hitting dangerously close to home, itchy wigs, muddy memories, and warring egos threaten to send the whole thing crashing down. AMELIA EARHART WAS A LESBIAN is a snappy queer mess about ex-best friends, unfinished screenplays, and the terrifying intimacy of being known too well.
