I still didn't believe that it
would happen and I thought well, I'll fight back and I'll
do my grievance and somebody, somewhere will have a lightbulb
and say "This is stupid, like, you don't release
good soldiers." After a few years of fighting
and I went to the top of all levels that I could,
then I stopped and said "Well,
I have to earn my living now." And I lived as a robot, I think,

Movie Summary
Some softened by age and sadness, others loud and angry, the voices of the survivors of Canada’s public service homosexual purge are now united, and determined.
