​
​“On The Fence” is a poetic coming of age documentary that follows several intertwined conversations with a multicultural film crew and their struggle with cultural identity. This film combats cultural dysphoria and allows audiences to find peace within themselves and rediscover Canadian customs and the culture that has gifted them a beginning. It is essential that those individuals see, not a disadvantage, but the privilege and beauty to have been a part of both.
