Passing Lines (Part 1) - Audio Documentary

Drawing on themes related to traveling, movement, change, and identity, Passing Lines--an audio-based documentary--explores the tensions and difficulties that exist between the rigid structures enforced by Immigration and those traveling individuals who have made their refugee claim based on their sexual identity. Combining soundscapes and testimonies obtained from outside the judicial system, Passing Lines tells the story of three different queer refugees' journey to Canada, exploring new ground by emphasizing sound as traveling speech, testimony, and story within a society where visuality continues to be privileged.
