Small Town Pride

About This Movie

Small Town Pride is a poignant documentary that captures the essence of queer life in more rural settings. Filmed across Alberta, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories, it showcases the grassroots efforts of LGBTQ2S+ individuals and their allies as they navigate the complexities of organizing Pride events in tight-knit communities. The film has this raw, genuine feel – you see real people sharing their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs in spaces that aren't always welcoming. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each story to settle in. The atmosphere is both celebratory and reflective, creating a balance between the joy of these gatherings and the realities faced by those involved. It's this honesty that makes it a notable entry in the documentary landscape.
