- In 1914 Canada was at war. The public was gripped with a fear that terrorists might be lurking among the recent wave of mostly Ukrainian immigrants. To deal with this perceived threat the government introduced the War Measures Act and rounded up thousands of Ukrainians, sending them to 24 concentration camps located across the country. Eventually a number of prisoners were paroled and forced to work as free labour for some of Canada's most profitable companies. In the years that followed, the Canadian government tried to forget what happened. This riveting documentary tells the story of how filmmaker James Motluk discovers that his Jajo (grandfather) was one of these parolees and traces what happened during these years.

- In 1945, as the Second World War neared its end, the Allied powers, led by Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, signed the Yalta Accord, an agreement that, among other things, allowed the USSR to forcibly repatriate any person the Soviets deemed to be a former national. This included over a million Ukrainian refugees stranded in DP (Displaced Person) camps in Germany, many of whom feared that returning to the USSR would mean a one way trip to Siberia. But a group of Canadian soldiers, led by Flight Lieutenant Bohdan Panchuk, lobbied the Allied powers to override Yalta and allow these refugees to resettle in the west. Their efforts were Herculean. Panchuk himself flew to Ottawa in 1945 to make an impassioned plea before the Canadian Senate. Even Eleanor Roosevelt got involved. In the end, hundreds of thousands of refugees were able to escape the grip of the USSR.
