They’ve traveled thousands of miles from their homelands and have left behind their families and friends. For some, it is their first time away from home. They have scrounged and saved every penny and have sacrificed a good deal to be able to pay for the airfare.
They have a Passport to Canada. They are Japanese people, who have come to live and study in Canada. They come with hopes and dreams, each as unique as the individual themselves. JumpPoint Entertainment proudly presents Passport to Canada, an hour long documentary that follows the trials and tribulations of three Japanese individuals each aspiring to achieve different goals in a foreign nation called Canada. The docs primary subject is 25 year old Mai Aoki. From Kawasaki City, Japan, Mai has recently received a Working Holiday Visa and has decided to live in Canada for a year. But she quickly learns the difficulties of living abroad when she is faced with the harsh consequences that entail living by yourself in a new country. From culture shock to jet-lag, from the happiest moments, to the toughest struggles, Passport to Canada is an often funny but true to heart documentary about everyday life and the desire to be something more. |
