About This Historic Event

GIRMIT: The Fields of Sadness makes its Canadian Premiere in Vancouver - your only chance to see this powerful documentary before it goes mainstream.

What is GIRMIT? This stunning 87-minute documentary tells the heartbreaking true story of 60,000 Indian laborers transported to Fiji between 1879-1920. Most people have never heard this piece of history - until now.

What to Expect:

  • Opening remarks by Film Director/Producer
  • Full screening on the big screen with cinematic sound
  • Closing remarks and discussion
  • Beautiful, visually stunning storytelling that will move you

Why This Matters: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of film history. After Vancouver, GIRMIT continues its global tour to Australia and the USA. The film has already received acclaim in Fiji and New Zealand, plus a nomination at the Nepal International Film Festival.
