Three Generations of Queers

A portrait of three lives.

This work investigates the complex nature of identity through three short documentaries told by Gray, Patricia and Ezra. The philosopher Michel Foucault describes this process as an ethics of the self: a praxis of becoming.  This film work explores that interconnected process.
