Climbing Mountains - Women Speak Out About Living With Cancer

Coming Out Again
Rowan Ramsay/Canada/2006/video/23min

A documentary that examines the parallels between informing others you have cancer and coming out. Coming Out Again touchingly shares the unique experiences of lesbians living with cancer. The Kingston-produced documentary by local filmmaker Rowan Ramsay features interviews with lesbians with cancer, detailing the struggles they face on multiple fronts- family relationships, finances, medical treatment, and support opportunities. Coming Out Again weaves the important documentary information with the compelling story of Sarah, a single lesbian battling cancer.

Reelout marks the first time for Kingston audiences to see this powerful and human documentary in a community setting on the big screen.
