This long and tumultuous journey that can take at least 24 months from the application date demands a high level of resilience. It imposes dramatic waves of anxiety and loneliness on the individuals. Away turns a sharp light into one of the consequences of the current process we have for economic immigration in Canada, a country with immigration as one of its international brands. Away is a narrative drama and a documentary, a poetic short and a film for social change in a hybrid approach. At the end of its journey, the lead character highlights the power that residents and citizens have in mitigating a newcomer&#8217;s loneliness by fostering communal and welcoming relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director Biography &#8211;\u00a0Ludmylla Reis<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/ff-storage-p01\/press_kits\/headshots\/001\/724\/562\/original\/159cd41fec-headshot.jpg?1610758176\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ludmylla Reis was raised in Brazil and moved to Canada in 2016 to further their artistic journey.
