Produced during Lee’s trip to her childhood home in New Jersey after the unexpected death of her mother, Mommy weaves the artist’s memories into a kaleidoscopic narrative of devotion, memory, intrafamilial desires, and the evolution of American subcultures on the Internet. Using her mother’s unfinished autobiography as a starting point, Lee infuses personal and family history, situating Mommy as a story of her mother’s life as well as her own.

Mutual Native Duplex is a video essay on the mutual alliances between Native and African Americans which celebrates the "neo-American model" of inter-cultural cooperation that grew out of these encounters.
"This video documentary centers on the questions of civil liberties and cultural differences in a society beginning to open as one woman searches for her own ethnic roots, identity and family history in Ukraine. Issues of human rights, anti-Semitism, homophobia, feminism and a divided and economically-depressed country are encountered as I, a feminist activist and pioneer of lesbian cinema, return to a 'homeland' full of struggling as people search for a new post-glasnost identity." — Barbara Hammer
