In the summer of 2004 Tori Foster—a Ryerson University fine arts student—packed her tent, skateboard and Panasonic camera in a second-hand car and set out to discover and make a documentary about her community, queer women across Canada. She had with her a list of names and addresses of women who had volunteered to be interviewed after she posted notices about her project on websites like gayCanada.com, or who had learned of the project by word of mouth.
What do you call yourself, lesbian, queer, gay, dyke, and why? What's it like being mistaken for a man? Do you ever worry about going into women's washrooms? What's it like to be a transsexual youth, transitioning from female to male? What things didn't you expect? Did you have a favourite toy as a child? What are your favourite books? Favourite TV shows? What's it like being gay in Cormack, Newfoundland? What's the lesbian community like in Ottawa? Why did you want to be part of this documentary?
The answers to these and other questions are fascinating, sometimes hilarious and Fosters' subjects are genuine, articulate and endearing. The result is a unique portrait of Canada.
