9/11/2001… 38 airplanes, 6,579 stranded passengers from 100 countries, 1 small town in Newfoundland. Before they have a clue what’s happening, thousands of passengers are diverted to the town of Gander, doubling its population and putting the townsfolk to the test.

Based on astonishing true events and hundreds of hours of interviews with the townspeople and the “come from aways” (aka stranded passengers) who were welcomed with open arms, you’ll experience the spirit of small-town generosity that helped the healing begin. Full of songs that celebrate kinship and grit, Come From Away’s message is simple and significant: in this day and age, it’s more important than ever for kindness to reach across the borders.
