An interview with filmmaker Ali Kazimi exploring the largely ignored history of Canada's exclusion of South Asian migrants through the Continuous Journey Regulation of 1908. On May 23, 1914, a chartered ship named the Komagatu Maru arrived in Vancouver Harbour carrying 340 Sikhs, 24 Muslims and 12 Hindus. Many on board were veterans of the British Indian Army and believed that it was their right as British subjects to settle anywhere in the Empire they had fought to defend and expand.

The passengers were brought to the brink of thirst and starvation while they were held in detention on the ship. Eventually they were sent back to India where sixty were shot and killed by the British. Kazimi explores the importance of highlighting this aspect of Canadian history and the effect the incident had on the freedom struggle in India. He makes direct links to contemporary exclusionary Canadian immigration policies such as the Third Safe Country Agreement.
