Rendez-vous with Home
When news of their father’s death comes to Canada, sisters Josephine and Suzette take a trip to Haiti to bury a man they hardly knew.

Equal parts personal curiosity, answers to the past, and information for the future, The Gay Heritage Project is a hilarious, thought-provoking tale that inspires, comforts, challenges, and empowers. Three Canadian men go on a search way past Google in order to find the history of gay people. They start their quest by looking back at their own lineages and move along to the library, the Yellow Brick Road, Ukraine, a game show, and a court. They discover handfuls of forgotten heroes and stories and also visit some well-known names, compiling everything into one extraordinary history lesson that shines new light on contemporary gay culture.

Three women explore their different connections to Haiti along the spectrum of diaspora: Nadège was born in Canada but feels the loss of the land she’s never known, treasuring a jar of earth from Haiti given to her by her grandmother; Céleste has been away for 20 years and now returned, her Canadianization interfering with her ability to re-integrate to the culture; and Man Sara gives advice, tells stories, and otherwise administers to her community from her “boutique” shop in a Haitian village, having never left her country.--Dorianne Emmerton
