Would you dare to go back twenty five years to find your long lost classmates? Filmmaker Cyrus Sundar Singh did ... and offers a unique perspective on the immigrant experience.

Film Club takes us back to the '70s and Trudeau's new policy of multiculturalism. When a Grade 8 teacher, eager to pass along his love of cinema, formed an after-school film club, it attracted a klatch of immigrant kids eager to embrace their new country. Stimulating and creative, the club was a complete departure from anything they had known and provided a safe haven from the harsh world around them. Together, they made a tiny 8mm award winner called Ohh Canada. It captured the spirit of a fresh start: everything was new and anything was possible.

Now, as adults, our group looks back to marvel at their childhood dreams and the bond they share with the teacher who brought them together. Their stories, both touching and personal, reveal the surprising drama contained within apparently ordinary lives.

Film Club was produced as part of the Reel Diversity Competition for emerging filmmakers of colour. Reel Diversity is a National Film Board of Canada initiative in partnership with CBC Newsworld.
