CKDU interviews Muskox

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.
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. By Jane Kirby and Ella Bedard.
