Canada, The Immigrant Story – Documentary Film
“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.”
#WelcomeToCanada
— Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
Echoing the ethos of unity and inclusivity espoused by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada, The Immigrant Story is a compelling documentary that explores the lived experiences of immigrants in Canada. Directed by Christian K. Kalambay, and produced by Staferd Campbell, Mamy Kalambay, and Vanessa Kammer, the film was created in honor of Canada’s 150th anniversary.
The documentary intimately follows the journeys of four immigrants — Belinda (Philippines), Kamlesh (Mauritius), Nayla (Lebanon), and Zulf (Uganda) — as they share their personal stories of courage, adaptation, and cultural identity. This film is a profound celebration of multiculturalism and the individual contributions that shape the fabric of Canadian society.
