Queer Director Slams “Hateful Political Rhetoric” as Trans Drama ‘Rocket Fuel’ Shoots in Canada Jessie Posthumus, a Canadian queer director, is spearheading a timely and vital production, Rocket Fuel.
The film is set against the backdrop of a small Ontario town in 2005 and follows Nora as she navigates adolescence and finds empowerment through self expression.
Canada's funding system has allowed Posthumus to bring her authentic story to life without being hindered by "hateful political rhetoric" that threatens LGBTQ+ inclusion in other countries.
