A Canadian War Story

No ratings yet

Spanning continents and generations, the film recounts the remarkable Ukrainian Canadian odyssey from Eastern Europe to Canada to the battlefields of World War II in Europe and Asia. Despite often being regarded as “non-preferred”, second-class citizens by mainstream Canadian society, the Ukrainian enlistment percentage was the highest of any ethnic group outside of the British. The Ukrainians’ sacrifice “finally gave them the prerogative of being recognized as real Canadians”.
