Description

Tiny Bukovina from Canada (Mica Bucovina din Canada [RO]) – Documentary (DVD).

Romanians moved to Canada in several periods. The first period was at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Romanians discovered Canada after the Honorable Clifford Sifton, Minister of Home Affairs representing a Liberal government, that had promised to populate the West and visited Bukovina.

The first two Romanian families that immigrated to Canada from Bukovina village of Boian stopped in Alberta in 1898. One hundred other families took their example and followed them. They gave the settlement the name of their home village.
Interviews, photographs, testimonies, and other historical facts build the journalistic angle of these people`s journey and present their history as the first Romanian immigrants living in Alberta.

The documentary presents not only historical, cultural, and social information but also a new perspective on the journey of integration in the midst of the wide-ranging diversity that makes up Canada’s modern society. We discover the rich inheritance of traditions and culture,-specific habits that have been kept and treasured for generations.

  1. Viorica Petrut Baetu –

    Nu este greu de ghicit tema documentarului Tiny Bukovina from Canada realizat de Daniela Cupșe Apostoaiei și Codruț Miron, mai ales pentru spectatorul român, căci titlul este revelator. Filmul ne prezintă o fărâmă din Bucovina noastră re-creată cu dragoste și dor de către primii coloni români tocmai în spațiile nesfârșite ale preeriei canadiene. Am spus coloni nu imigranți și nici colonizatori și cred că este termenul cel mai apropiat de realitatea pe care au trăit-o primele familii care, răspunzând unei publicități făcute de guvernul liberal al Canadei din acea vreme (sfârșitul secolului XIX), 160 de acri de pământ contra 10$, și-au părăsit locul natal și tot ce aveau mai drag spre a se stabili în mijlocul sălbăticiei de la ‘capătul pământului’.

    Și revenind la termenul colon, este absolut necesară o precizare în perioada prezentă de imigrare relativ intensă a românilor spre Canada: acest termen se aplică, fie și numai parțial, românilor din satul Boian, clădit după chipul și asemănarea satului cu același nume din dureroasa dragoste pentru cel pe care l-au lăsată în urmă, dacă luăm în seamă criteriile de selecție și condițiile de acceptare a acelor oameni curajoși sau disperați. Condițiile erau să-și construiască un adăpost (pentru părinți și șase copii) și să producă o recoltă în termen de un an, de pe un teren ne-defrișat, ne-desțelenit și acestea doar din resursele lor. Nu voi da alte detalii, las filmul să vă satisfacă curiozitatea.

    The history of the first settlers in Alberta, coming from an eastern European village, touches me profoundly as I myself have followed about the same path, only 100 years later, in an era of transoceanic flights, satellite communication, and public healthcare. Back then, however, I imagine a world of difficulties. The Tiny Bucovina from Canada gracefully reveals those times through the words of the descendants, the bearers of the language and the culture, and through the well kept artifacts of the Museum. It’s an emotional journey, beautifully narrated and illustrated. And, perhaps, a lesson for the future.
