What happens

Track Two (Enough Is Enough) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Harry Sutherland and released in 1982. The film documents the struggle for gay liberation in Toronto in the early 1980s, focusing principally on the mass protest mobilizations that followed Operation Soap in February 1981. The film takes its title from the Toronto Police Service's use of "Track Two" as a code word for the Church and Wellesley gay village in the era. ("Track One" was their code for a different part of the city with a significant presence of prostitutes.) Figures appearing in the film include former Toronto mayor John Sewell, historian June Callwood, novelist Margaret Atwood, broadcaster Laurier LaPierre, and LGBTQ community figures George Hislop, Brent Hawkes, Chris Bearchell, Gerald Hannon and Ken Popert.
