Immaculate Conceptions: Inside a Lesbian Baby Boom
Director
An intimate, eye-opening account of a lesbian baby boom in Canada during a period of rapid legal reform and social change. It is told entirely through the hilarious, rueful, self-reflective words of sixteen diverse parents (of newborns to six-year-olds) and would-bees, living in Toronto and London, Ontario. They take different sides on every controversy (known donors v frozen, liking clinics or hating them, how much biology matters, being ‘two mommies’ or ‘a mom and an other parent’, seeing homophobia everywhere or nowhere), but they are all passionately articulate about this strange new world of queer family-making.
Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders
Pamela Taylor
Dramatised documentary which describes the police investigation that led to the conviction of David Mulcahy for the notorious Railway Murders in the 1980s of three young women in the London area and for the rapes of many others. This investigation was based largely on the testimony of John Duffy to a psychologist in prison where he was serving life after being convicted of the same offences ten years earlier, having denied at the time of his trial that he had had an accomplice (Mulcahy). -Anonymous
