    You Can Live Forever

    Directed by Mark Slutsky, Sarah Watts
    Canada | 96 minutes | Queer Cinema

In a provincial Canadian town, the friendship between two teenage girls – one secular, the other a devout Jehovah’s Witness – turns to passion in this fresh, sensitive story of first love. Made by a filmmaker who grew up queer in a Witness family, this depiction of the conflict between faith and desire radiates authenticity.
