You might think the history of the black LGBT people in Toronto might be too narrow a subject to hold the interest of a large audience, but of course, you'd be wrong. There's something for everyone here. This film was shown at the Kashish Queer Film Festival in Mumbai, India, and I felt the audience empathized with the real people on the screen. The friendships, comraderie of the early years, when it was just enough to have a place you could safely hang out with other gays, to the AIDS era and finally, the pride marches of today. The director takes his time, going off the central theme sometimes to explore related areas. Like the segment on the draw of religion for some of the black LGBT crowd in Toronto. All this makes for a very comprehensive documentary and a model for others who might make documentaries on the evolution of LGBT movements in other parts of the world.
