Much handled things are always soft
Synopsis
Much handled things are always soft unearths the unwritten and undocumented histories of public sex culture in the south-side of Chicago.

Together, McCoy and Woods-Morrow reflect on their relationship to cruising, to photography, and to each other; attempting to bridge the gap between what was, and what still remains to be explored. Commissioned by Visual AIDS in 2019 as part of STILL BEGINNING, a program of seven short videos responding to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic.
