In Citizen Jane, a lesbian short film set in the Canadian army in 1987, Private Jane Cross is noticed by her superior officer Master Corporal Maryann Kirk. Jane who is crushing on the corporal convinces fellow soldier Toni Miles to go to a bar regularly with her in the hope of meeting up with Maryann. Jane and Maryann begin a sexual relationship but the risks of being found out are high in an environment where homosexuality is considered immoral conduct and a dischargable offence. By recording her feelings for Maryann in a journal Jane seals her fate when her room is subsequently searched and the journal confiscated. Based on true accounts and a stellar performance by Tirra Dent as Jane this is an outstanding short film. Watch out for Allyah O'Brien who plays Holly from Rookie Blue as Toni, Jane's friend.
