"...after a year and a half chained to one place I didn't know how to run or where to go." (Muuxi Adam, filmmaker)
Last year, 248,000 newcomers came to Canada of whom 27,000 arrived as refugees. Winnipegger Anne Mahon has gathered just a few of their stories for a book launching this Tuesday at McNally Robinson. The Lucky Ones: African Refugees' Stories of Extraordinary Courage is the verbatim transcription of interviews Mahon conducted with 18 African refugees who made their way, through often horrific events, to Winnipeg.
