The Courage to Dream: From Refugee Camp to Canada

Hearts Open for Everyone together with Quilt of Belonging is excited to present a special community film‑screening of “A Dream Called Khushi”.

Join us for a powerful evening featuring the award-winning documentary “A Dream Called Khushi”. This moving 35-minute film follows the journey of a young Rohingya girl born in a refugee camp as she defies extraordinary odds to pursue her right to education and a future in Canada.

In partnership with Quilt of Belonging, this workshop is a celebration of resilience and the strength of the human spirit. After the screening, we’ll dive into an engaging live Q&A with the filmmaker and the film’s subject.
