Sometimes I Wish I Was On a Desert Island

Cloutier, Nathalie, (film producer.). Fortin, Pierre-Mathieu, (film producer.). Tahchi, Eli Jean, (film director.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: As the world learns to live again in the midst of the pandemic, for many Arabic-speaking LGBTQ+ people living in Montreal, this is just a period of time like any other. When you've fled homophobic violence in your home country and endured a painful migratory journey, or you still face social prejudices stemming from intercultural and intergenerational conflicts, surviving social isolation is nothing new.
