MIGRATIONS, a film by Adam Shamash
Migrations is a meditation on the changing face of human identity, as seen through the eyes of a Mali-born immigrant to Canada named Omar.
Where can I find the film the Canadian Embassy used in 1970 to attract immigrants to Canada?
My family emigrated from England to Canada in 1972. This emigration was, in part, inspired by a film we were shown (along with other prospective emigrants) at the Canadian Embassy in London, England in 1970. The film, probably made in the 1960s, showed how wonderful life was in Canada. One scene in particular I remember was a blissfully happy family driving in their station wagon back home after grocery shopping. They entered their beautiful house and then put away the groceries — I remember the big, red steaks being stored in the freezer in the basement….
I would love to get a copy of this film, if anyone can help me locate it!
