law and what Canadians thought along the way. “I DO? (a documentary profiling
same-sex marriage as it becomes legalized in Canada)”- The controversy over
allowing the homosexual population to marry has sparked many debates in Canada and
around the world. On July 19th 2005 the Senate passed the equal marriage bill C-38 by
47 to 21. On July 20th at 4:56 p.m. the bill received Royal Assent and was proclaimed
into law at 6:09 p.m. Canadians can now marry in every jurisdiction. This documentary
explores the views of many gay people and their supporters, in the mission to discover
what it is exactly that the queer population thinks about same-sex marriage. As well as
to educate the general public about the issue from the opinions of the people who it
affects most. Having started filming before it was a federal law the film “I Do? shows
the progression of the events as they unfold and dares to go head on with a topic being
hushed in the media at the time. Featuring: Rev. Dr. Cheri Dinovo, Douglas Elliott, Rev,
Dr. Brent Hawkes, Marilyn Churley, Kevin Bourassa, Joe Varnell, Gail Donnelly,
Barbara McDowall, Susan Gapka & Mitchel Raphael.
