Why Pride?
 |
“Why Pride?” is a one-hour documentary that explores the exotic carnival that is the Vancouver Pride Parade. “Why Pride?” Is a fun and irreverent look at Van-couver Pride’s 30th anniversary celebration, the parties, the parade, and the fun, as seen through the eyes of two queer film crews; one gay and one lesbian. |
| Is pride too commercial? Do we still need a pride parade? Doesn’t Pride just reinforce stereotypes? Are you going to get laid? These are all important questions that deserve answers. As our queer com-munity revaluates the meaning of pride and rem-embers the history of those who came before, we will be there to document and celebrate our community. |  |

Why Pride? Is a recording of our history through our own eyes and not those of well meaning and sym-pathetic straight filmmakers. We must tell our histories in our own ways and be true to who we are. This documentary is shot on location in Vancouver, Canada, and viewers are transported out of the mainstream into the world of entertainment created by and for the queer community. |
Our second crew, the men, haven't been heard from since Pride. Their last communication stated they had found a lost tribe of hot men and were going in to get an interview with the guy in chain underware. LexTV has sent out a recovery team and when we find our lost crew we'll upload the pictures. |
