Storytellers in the film include Marc Hall, whose 2002 court case Hall v Durham Catholic School Board became a landmark LGBT rights case in Canada.[1]

The film premiered at the 2019 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[2] It was subsequently added to the CBC Gem streaming platform.[1]

The film won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Short Documentary at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020.[3]
