​“On The Fence” follows several intertwined conversations with a multicultural film crew and their struggle with identity through the lens of poetic documentary filmmaking. This film will combat cultural dysphoria and allow 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.
