New Homeland

"New Homeland" is a documentary that follows the lives of 27,000 refugees, mostly from Syria and Iraq, who were resettled in Canada in 2017, amidst the backdrop of summer camp Camp Pathfinder. The film captures the bonds of new friendship among the campers, but also delves into the challenges and trauma faced by some, particularly those who continue to grapple with the mindset of war. The director, Barbara Kopple, uses a unique setting to tell the story of these young people's experiences as they start anew.
