The resulting documentary, Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things, looks at Inuit LGBT people and their lives in Canada’s North, as they uncover and reconnect with their forgotten place in their community.
“Colonization and Christian missions and whatnot have sort of hidden that, or pushed it aside or erased it, so it’s about uncovering all of that,” Woods says.
