Told through the lens of poetic and reflexive documentary filmmaking, On the Fence is a short documentary that follows several conversations with a multicultural film crew, voicing their intertwined experiences on cultural dysphoria as immigrant youths. It is a film that serves to examine the inherent ties between home and identity, and instill a single but fundamental message to those who ever feel at a crossroads with their culture: you are not alone. On The Fence combats cultural dysphoria and allows audiences to find peace within themselves and rediscover Canadian customs and the culture that has gifted them a beginning. It is essential that those individuals see, not a disadvantage, but the privilege and beauty to have been a part of both.
