Human Cargo
Human Cargo, six-hour drama miniseries, is a gripping, deeply-affecting thriller from the global refugee crisis, dealing with issues of asylum, international terrorism, the international aid industry and the Canadian immigration and refugee system. A weave of stories, a collision of worlds: Moses a teacher from Burundi, his family scattered by civil war; Naila, an outcast from Afghanistan on a secret personal mission; Helen Wade, a naïve and entitled young woman off to save herself and the world, in that order; Jerry Fisher, a refugee lawyer collapsing under the weight of it all and Nina Wade a political casualty banished to the Canadian Immigration Refugee Board. A refugee arrives with a secret. What then?
