"The story of Canada's first major non-European refugee movement"

This documentary explores the history of Canadaโ€™s first major migration of non-European and non-white refugees who arrived in 1972 when Ugandan President Idi Amin expelled all South Asians from the country. Their story of struggle and hope became part of Canadaโ€™s conversations about refugees and cultural pluralism, and informed the Canadian response to future refugee movements.
