Thrown into Canada is an intriguing documentary that delves into a lesser-known chapter of Canadian history. Directed by Aleem Karmali, it captures the emotional journey of South Asian refugees expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972. The film's pacing is steady, allowing viewers to absorb the personal stories of struggle and resilience. Karmali uses interviews and archival footage effectively to create a haunting atmosphere, highlighting the painful experiences of displacement and the hope for a new life. The narratives weave together themes of identity and belonging, making it a compelling watch for anyone interested in the complexities of migration and multiculturalism in Canada.
