According to the United Nations, more than 11 million Syrians have been displaced due to Syria’s civil war. Seeking safety, these refugees are resettling in numerous countries around the world. In this short film from Go Project Films, we hear the story of one such refugee. After fleeing torture and imprisonment by the Assad regime, Mohammed Alsaleh was granted asylum in Canada in 2014. Today, Alsaleh aids newly arrived Syrian families as they adjust to life in Canada—while hoping and waiting for his own family to join him.
