Synopsis:
A creative, queer, ethnographic documentary using experimental aesthetics that mirror Caribbean philosopher Edouard Glissant’s concept of opacity to reclaim the slur of “coolie”. It visualizes the inter-generational lives, histories, identities, familial relations and sexualities of diverse subjects (artists, academics, and activists) from the Queer Indo-Caribbean and Black Diasporas in Canada. It embraces the complexities of Creole (mixed-race) identities, gender/genderqueer identity, age, and mobility portrayed in nuanced ways. It embraces the importance of not accepting erasure.
