WINNER of Best Short Documentary at the Canadian Screen Awards 2020
Featuring intimate, charming interviews with queer Canadians ranging in age 17 to 88, Take Me To Prom invites audiences to revisit this iconic adolescent milestone.
Meet Alf, a quiet wallflower with a secret crush. Fontaine only remembers the details of his date’s dress. Marcy skipped her prom for a wild escapade. Alphonso staged a liberating protest with his friends. Marc bravely went to court so he could take his boyfriend to prom. Carmen’s traumatic prom marked the beginning of her inspiring transformation. And Caroline’s story captures the complex reality faced by queer youth today.
Vivid set design, re-enactments and archival footage transport audiences across 70 years of teenage heartbreak and rebellion — all while telling a story of social change over seven decades.

There will be a day where we all have to answer for our sins, we have become lovers of ourselves and have denied God's Laws. Wake up before it's too late, deny your flesh and ask God to reveal himself to you!
The girl at the end is gorgeous!! How does she keep her skin SO flawless?
The lady who find herself in that field around cows and a bull is so cool 😎 cheers
I admire each and everyone of these people. I never attended prom either, was always the "odd" one out and I hope no child ever has to feel excluded. Love to all.
THEY ALL NEED THE LORD GOD.
SO BE IT AMEN 🙏🏾
So beautiful
I'm proud of all these people. Be yourself!!! So proud 😍
Beautiful and sad too. Don’t think this doesn’t happen today for LBGTQ+ folks…it’s better for some but not for all
Brilliantly done, I would go to prom with you all. Many thanks from isolation in Australia 🇦🇺

A STUNNING DOCO OF STORIES SO HONEST & CLOSE2 THE BONE THAT WE ALL CAN RELATE2.YOU ALL "SHINE" SO!!! THANK YOU4 SHARING.
He wants to bring his boyfriend to a catholic school prom. Facepalm.
That's like wearing a sausage neckless at the vegan convention.
Why?
Why didn't he just ask to bring his "friend"?
This is so was beautifully done. These people are wonderful
Oh my goodness 🤣 the story about the flag and the bull and then the little old lady brings all the kids coffee!!! Love it!!! I miss getting lost with friends and no one had a cellphone yet!! I miss those days!!! 💕
Maybe one day we wont even have to come out, love would be just love. Wouldn't that be amazing.
So empowering! Thank you!
Why do all these young people say "like" for every other word in a sentence? I honestly don't understand why or where its come from . The trend to speak this way is everywhere nowadays & its unbearable to me. …anyone know what its developed from?
There's a thumbnail taking up the video the whole time. What a disservice to these courageous people. Annoying too
In America you have every right to do and be whatever you want..
Just don’t force everyone else to comply with your set of rules.
