It's an absorbing documentary that travels through Toronto, Berlin, Singapore, and beyond in the form of interviews, memoirs, and gossip from an international queer vanguard.Toronto-based artist Elisha Lim 's work celebrates the dignity and power of being neither straight, nor white, nor cis-gendered. In 2011 they also successfully advocated for Canadian gay media to adopt the gender neutral pronoun "they."
About the author
Elisha Lim is an artist and activist who demands radical change and anti-oppressive justice. Their comics have been acclaimed by Alison Bechdel and Shary Boyle and their films circulate LGBTQ film festivals around the world, but their proudest accomplishments have been group efforts: like making Xtra! Canada’s Gay and Lesbian Newspaper adopt gender neutral pronouns, and directing Montréal's first racialized pride week.
