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

Director: Aleem Karmali

Writer: Aleem Karmali

Producer: Aleem Karmali

This documentary explores the history of Canada’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 Canada’s conversations about refugees and cultural pluralism, and informed the Canadian response to future refugee movements.
