In a fatphobic, image-conscious world, Dr. Jill Andrew is the educator, activist and eccentric cat lady turned politician that we need! Jill takes her fight for body justice, human rights, representation, access and equity to the legislature as the first Queer, Black person elected as a member of provincial parliament.

Filmmaker Aisha Fairclough paints a wonderfully loving picture of her partner in a story 40-years in the making.
