Synopsis

When tragedy strikes a stranger, how should we respond?

In the spring of 1979, as desperate refugees fled persecution and chaos in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the citizens of Ottawa launched Project 4000 to resettle thousands of newcomers into the community. This bold initiative swept churches, temples, neighbourhoods, businesses and individuals into nearly four hundred sponsorship groups to provide necessary accommodation, money and emotional and practical support. Countless other volunteers throughout the region donated funds, medical services, housing, furniture and clothing.

Richly illustrated, Gift of Freedom explores the experiences of a people who arrived in Ottawa as refugees and went on to become successful and fully participating members of Canadian society. It reveals through interviews and anecdotes, the experiences of the Canadian sponsors who opened their homes, their businesses and their hearts to these strangers from another land.
