Migrant Dreams, a powerful feature documentary by multiple award-winning director Min Sook Lee (El Contrato, Hogtown, Tiger Spirit) and Emmy award-winning producer Lisa Valencia-Svensson (Herman’s House), tells the undertold story of migrant agricultural workers struggling against Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that treats foreign workers as modern-day indentured labourers. Under the rules of Canada’s migrant labour program, low wage migrants are tied to one employer and fundamentally treated as cheap and disposable laborers.

Through the documentary and the post-screening discussion, we aim to visualize the multiple layers of migrant vulnerabilities that are produced and normalized in Canada’s immigration policies.
