Standing on the Line

Provocative and inspirational stories unfold through candid interviews with a group of Canadian athletes on top of their game in their respective fields, and who have faced struggles because of their sexual orientation. Performing at the highest levels requires sacrifices. But when one is struggling with self-doubt, fear of repurcussion or ridicule, it adds tremendous pressure. Despite everything, the champions featured - speed skater Anastasia Bucsis, soccer player David Testo, and hockey player Brock McGillis - powered on and pioneered to lead a generation of young athletes to play without fear. Their journey will make you question the norms we have set as a society and inspire to be more accepting. (Cinequest Festival)
