Outliers: Calgary's Queer History(2018)

Outliers: Calgary's Queer History Synopsis

A deep dive into the historical, social and political forces which shaped the development of the queer community in Calgary. Featuring extensive footage and B-roll film from Calgary Pride in the 90’s, queer leaders recount a decade of turmoil, loss, and growth of activism and human rights. The film is a first-hand account of the frontlines of LGBTQ2+ activism at a time when the right to be out in Alberta was not legally protected, visible or developed. Spanning stories from 1960-present day, this feature length documentary delves into the moments and victories which brought an entire community from the darkness into the light.

Outliers: Calgary's Queer History (2018) is a documentary film directed by Justine Boncezk, released on May 25, 2018 with a runtime of 1h 30m.
