Samuel & Samantha

This humourous and lovingly crafted video features Samuel, a Salvadorean university student and political refugee, and his alter ego Samantha, a drag queen and performer. Through Samuel/Samantha's eyes we discover a segment of the Latin American community in Toronto. S/he talks about the challenges that Latin gay men face, within their own community and the gay community at large.
