What would you do if 6,600 people unexpectedly landed in your small town with no place to stay? For the 11,000 people of Gander, Newfoundland, this incredible event happened in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, when nearly 40 planes were rerouted and grounded there. This in-depth documentary shows how this town in Newfoundland came together to feed, shelter and support all of the stranded airline passengers for 6 days. With remarkable footage from the event, as well as interviews from a selection of airline passengers and residents of the town, this emotional and inspirational documentary tells the incredible true story that inspired the smash-hit musical Come From Away.

The film won two Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Documentary.

In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of 9/11.
