The documentary Brooks – The City of 100 Hellos by Canadian filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk gives us a rare glimpse into the lives of many of the new immigrants, refugees and temporary foreign workers that have moved to Brooks, Alberta, Canada. It also explores the challenges they face and looks at how long-time residents of Brooks feel about the new immigration in their community.The documentary is set in Brooks, Alberta, a western Canadian city known for its farming, cowboys and oil patch workers. About 10 years ago the local meat packing plant, XL Foods Lakeside Packers Inc., starting bringing over and employing about 2,000 workers from across the world; some temporary foreign workers, others new immigrants and refugees in Canada.Many don’t speak English and have come to Brooks to make about $14 an hour, paying for their lives here in the city but also supporting their families back home.The new immigrants have physically changed this traditional cattle ranching city. Schools teaching English as a second language have been popping up across town as well as different multicultural churches, a mosque and ethnic stores. It is now believed that over 100 languages are spoken in Brooks.“Brooks is unique,” says Brooks Mayor Martin Shields. “It was basically 14,000 in population who changed in 10 years from basically one culture, one language to representing as many as 60 to 70 different countries with many languages and dialects.”

This documentary by Canadian filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk explores how the small city of Lieksa in Eastern Finland is dealing with a recent influx of new immigrants from Somalia and Iraq. The newcomers have moved to vacant council apartments on a street called “Edge Road.”Lieksa’s population is aging and with its high unemployment rate of twenty percent. many locals are concerned that immigrants will take their jobs or live off government benefits. Residents are also concerned about newcomers not integrating into Finnish society and learning the language, a prerequisite for getting a job in Finland.This change in demographics has caused tensions in the community and led to an increase in racist attacks.The film explores both points of view showing those who see immigration as a positive force and those who are threatened by it. Finding Edge Road was shot over three years by Canadian filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk.

On the Greek island of Lesbos, Moria, the largest refugee camp in Europe, has become a filthy slum. When Europe confines itself, the refugees feel totally abandoned. Their anger explodes, but nothing can be done. They are the forgotten people of the COVID 19 crisis. With his friend Mortaza Behboudi, Father Maurice Joyeux, from the Jesuit Refugee Service, decided to go back there to accompany the people and help them not to sink into despair. He took the time to see the situations, to listen to the stories of the people and quickly perceived the hunger, the thirst, the endless waiting in a climate of fear and insecurity: a place of no rights, this camp had become a real hell. But his job as a priest is to share his hope in the very heart of despair. So Maurice Joyeux gets closer to the refugees. He follows in their footsteps to help them not only to survive but to live. But in September, the hell is reduced to ashes.

Starkly shot in black and white, this multi-festival film captures the unabashed xenophobia of a number of Americans living in California along the U.S.-Mexican border. They are reacting to the influx of undocumented aliens, who they believe are draining community resources and committing crimes. Nativist organizations have been formed such as "Light Up The Border" which masses cars along the border with head-lights blazing at possible intruders.The film critiques the nativist position by contrasting the professed love of country with racist and anti-democratic attitudes. One white-haired couple advocates machine-gunning down a few at the border as a warning. Other residents complain that "the illegals bring drugs and disease, multiply like rabbits, fill up the jails, and go on welfare."A closed captioned version is available on vhs only.

This video has been provided by Canada's Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) from its Inuit Film and Video Archives (IFVA). The earliest videos in the IFVA collection date from the early 1970s. Inuit videographers have captured the transition from dog teams to digital phones; they have chronicled the division of the territories, the creation of key national Inuit organizations, the concept and signing of the Inuit land claims, the creation of Nunavut, and the evolution of a new political, socio-cultural environment -- their priceless archived work represents a period that is absolutely unique in history. IBC's main production centre and IFVA facility are located in Iqaluit, the capital of the Nunavut Territory. Websites: www.inuitbroadcasting.ca; www.building4dreams.ca/about-ifva/
