With the help of queer elders and biologists, this film explores the material and ecological traces of the largest “social cleansing” project in Canadian history. Since the late 19th century, this section of Mount Royal has been a meeting place for men, trans women, and sex workers. Forty thousand trees were cut down, and multiple waves of police violence ensued. Today, the site is once again frequented by different generations of queer people.
