After growing up in a small Ontario city Tori Foster decided to travel Canada to talk to 20 women about what it's like to be queer where they live. Her journey spans all ten provinces, beginning in Newfoundland and ending in British Columbia. Each of the women she meets has a unique perspective on all things queer - stereotypes, hairstyles, gender mishaps, and community life, to name a few. Shot and edited entirely on her own the project is a journey of both self discovery, and an intimate exploration of Canada's queer female communities separated by the nation's vast geography.(more)
