Over the past few months stories and video of actress Ellen Page has been doing the rounds, showing her confronting notorious homophobes such as GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz. It’s all been as part of her new docu-series project, Gaycation, which sees her travelling to different parts of the world alongside best friend, Ian Daniel, to see LGBT life in numerous different countries and explore how those people are treated and the struggles many of them face.
Now the first episode of the series is here, which sees the duo head for the Land Of The Rising Sun. As the synopsis states, ‘Ellen and Ian are in Japan, on a journey which includes getting friendship-married at a Buddhist temple, working at a rent-a-friend agency and joining the party in the world’s smallest gay bar.’
You can take a look at the full 45 minutes episode below. The entire show show will air on the new US TV network Viceland, but hopefully they’ll show up online too.
