From Kharkiv to Montreal: Escaping War and Finding a New Home

In this episode, we follow the tumultuous journey of a Ukrainian family who fled from the frontline city of Kharkiv to start a new life in Canada. After enduring bombings and terror amid the Russian invasion, we hear how one family was greeted with overwhelming support in Canada that made their 7,500-kilometre journey worthwhile.   Episode 1 of a 3-part series produced in collaboration with Concordia’s Department of Journalism.
