A Place Where I Belong
d. Rheanna Toy @rheannatoy /Canada/2025/77min
A Place Where I Belong follows six LGBTQ+ individuals with intellectual disabilities as they navigate identity, love, and systemic barriers through an innovative program called Connecting Queer Communities (CQC). As the participants find safety and solidarity within CQC, their stories—ranging from self-advocacy and family rejection to the joy of coming out—highlight the urgent need for inclusive spaces. With CQC’s future uncertain due to funding challenges, the film is a portrait of resilience and a call to action for lasting change.
Preceded by:

A young trans woman gets locked out of the apartment she's supposed to be watching and has no choice but to ask for help from the building's superintendent, a middle-aged man with Down syndrome who quickly wins her trust and affection. Live large no shame, is a story about an unexpected encounter, a moment of urban poetry that captures the magic of diversity. #ygkarts #lgbtqkingston #reelout2026 #APlaceWhereWeBelong
