A powerful documentary centered on the story of the Community One Foundation, a collective that marks a turning point in the history of Toronto’s queer community. Spanning from the 1980s to the present day, the film reveals how LGBTQ+ activism, solidarity, and community-building have evolved over time. Through archival footage and personal testimonies, it documents the Foundation’s role in creating safe spaces for queer individuals, supporting the arts, and organizing for political change—from the onset of the HIV and AIDS crisis to today’s ongoing struggle for equality. Supporting Our Selves pays tribute to the struggles of past generations while reminding today’s queer youth of the power and continuity of collective action.
