we meet a group with passion for history
we meet a singer whose passion for music is a dream
we meet a kid whose dream and obsession is to play hockey,
we meet older women whose obsession is a young man on Tiktok
we meet a fascinating old codger
and then a few more fascinating folks who made things happen
we meet some fascinated kids
we meet kids who stand up for their rights
we meet a woman who is thankful for the right to choose whether to have a baby
we meet an exhausted man with a baby
we meet a blended family
we meet a found family of new Canadians
and finally we experience the poignant journey to a new country.
