Exploring overarching themes of language, community, culture, and work, this 25-minute documentary features firsthand accounts of arrival, integration, and settlement in St. John's, Gander, Corner Brook, and Labrador City. The screening will be followed by a 45-minute panel discussion facilitated in partnership with CBC NL and Prajwala Dixit. A catered reception in the Level 2 lobby will conclude the event.
