We launch this dossier with Life Stories of Montrealers displaced by War, Genocide, and other Human Rights Violations. This five-year oral history project explores survivors' experiences and memories of mass violence and displacement. A team comprised of dozens of university and community-based researchers are in the process of recording life story interviews with more than 500 Montreal residents from Rwanda, Cambodia, Haiti, Latin America, and South Asia, as well as Holocaust survivors.
Filmmaker Masoud Raouf was moved to create this compassionate film when he heard of a young Iranian student who hanged himself from a tree in Canada. He had escaped the Ayatollahs' regime, but he could not escape his past. The Tree that Remembers provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of a group of former Iranian political prisoners (guilty only for fighting for peace). It is a compassionate reflection on the betrayal of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the tenacity of the human spirit.
