The story of Canada's first major non-European refugee movement
This documentary explores the history of Canadaโs 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 Canadaโs conversations about refugees and cultural pluralism, and informed the Canadian response to future refugee movements.
