Summary
"In 1914, the Komagata Maru, a vessel with 376 immigrants from British India, became the first ship carrying migrants to be turned away by Canada. The consequences were felt throughout the British Empire. Continuous journey is a provocative and multilayered film essay that interweaves photographs, newsreels, home movies and official documents to unravel a complex and little-known story that reverberates to this day."--Container.
