Compromising Positions Synopsis:
Broken bones, bruises,
scrapes and sprains: queer wrestling bristles with danger. This unruly
combat sport is a sub-cultural phenomenon popping up in urban centers
cross-Canada. Compromising Positions
presents a world where gay-bashings and trans-bashings menace, yet scrappy
young queers willingly risk injury in one another’s hands.
Meet Jimmy Stray and
Johnny Trouble, two genderqueer rascals with a passion for kicking ass.
Armed with a camera, they embark on a filmmaking adventure to explore
queer identity through combat. Along the way, they confront a series
of unexpected demons and discover what they are truly wrestling.
Compromising Positions
is about a pair of self-made boys who refuse to go down for the count.
Before the match is up, Jimmy and Johnny challenge their audience to
take a second look at violence, bodies and consent.
