This is mine.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Debi Goodwin travelled to the Dadaab Refugee Camp in 2007 to shoot a documentary on young Somali refugees soon coming to Canada, she did not anticipate the impact the journey would have on her. A year later, in August of 2008, she decided to embark upon a new journey, starting in the overcrowded refugee camps in Kenya, and ending in university campuses across Canada. For a year, she recorded the lives of eleven very lucky refugee students who had received coveted scholarships from Canadian universities, guaranteeing them both a spot in the student body and permanent residency in Canada. We meet them in the overcrowded confines of a Kenyan refugee camp and track them all the way through a year of dramatic and sometimes traumatic adjustments to new life in a foreign country called Canada. This is a snapshot of a refugee's first year in Canada, in particular a snapshot of young men and women lucky and smart enough to earn their passage from refugee camp to Canadian campus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doubleday Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016430797040,"sku":"9780385667234","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780385667234_p0.jpg?v=1763694943","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780385667234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
