Summary:
"In
1987
, a small
boat
called the
Amelie
brought 174 refugees to the shores Charlesville, Nova Scotia. Most of the passengers were Sikhs fleeing persecution in India, who had endured a long a difficult journey to reach Canada. Though the
people
of Charlesville offered their hospitality to the
Amelie
migrants, Canada's government did not. Sadly, the passengers met resistance from those who accused them of abusing Canada's
refugee
protection system. The
Amelie
arrived during a time of economic austerity and rising political conservatism and was used as justification for tightening Canada's
refugee
laws, not unlike what we have seen in the aftermath of the arrival of Tamil migrants on Canada's West Coast during the summer of 2010. By looking at the past and telling the
story
of the
Amelie
, we can gain insight into current events and injustices faced by refugees and
boat
people
in Canada. This documentary features interviews with the refugees who were passengers aboard the
Amelie
, lawyers,
policy
experts, academics and activists to tell the
story
of the
Amelie
and offer multiple perspectives on current and past events.."--halifax.mediacoop.ca/events/8561
