I Don't Know Who You Are

Book Now Book Now

A gay Toronto musician is sexually assaulted one night and is in a panicked race against time to pay for HIV-preventive PrEP treatment, all the while trying to navigate the legal system and deal with the emotional aftermath of the trauma. I Don’t Know Who You Are is a film that feels at once urgent and frantic but is balanced with a rare sense of interiority and quiet power.

A brilliant character study, the film is remarkably intimate and filled with beautifully subtle moments in which we simply exist with Benjamin (co-writer and artist Mark Clennon, in a remarkable and sensitive performance) as he ekes out a living as an artist in the city. Inspired by his own personal experience, first time feature director M. H. Murray has created a striking and compelling film about the reverberations of sexual violence, and one that feels authentic and true. An important film and a must watch.
