Long Live My Happy Head

"Long Live My Happy Head" is an uplifting documentary about coping with inoperable cancer, told through Gordon's use of queer comic books to confront his feelings and fears. He employs humour to get to the heart of taboos surrounding death and disease, weaving many of the wonderful carers and nurses he meets into his expressively illustrated world. This film is also a long-distance love story between Edinburgh and Virginia, USA, as Gordon's love for life and loved ones shines through despite his diagnosis.
