THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1994 No. 37 Canadian Broadcasting Corp. refuses to air internment film by Nestor Gula

TORONTO — A documentary film about the intern– ment of over 5,000 Ukrainians in Canada during World War 1 is not receiving proper exposure because of a Canadian broadcaster's refusal to air it. During the first world war, Canada interned over 8,000 people alleged to be "enemy aliens." Although the majority of these people were Ukrainians, there were also Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, Jews, Turks, Croats, Bulgarians and Serbs who were interned in the 24 camps scattered across Canada. The period of internment was between 1914 and 1920. A documentary film commemorating this event was released early this summer in Canada. Titled "Freedom Had A Price," the documentary was produced and directed by Canadian filmmaker Yurij Luhovy. The 55- minute film tells the human story of this near-forgotten episode of Canadian history, it is filmed on location at the former sites of internment camps in Canada and shows some of the original internment structures and artifacts, which were discovered by the film crew. The documentary film uses archival footage, vintage photographs, commentary by prominent Canadian histo– rians and testimony by the few remaining survivors and their offspring to paint a picture of this internment. internment camp site in Field, British Columbia, circa 1916. Mr. Luhovy is an acclaimed filmmaker who has sev– eral noted works and awards to his name.

This dream became a reality on May 13, when 40 people boarded a KLM flight destined for Kyyiv (via Woodstock and Amsterdam). The group consisted of 27 singers, 12 companions, the choir director, William Woloschuk, and our parish priest, the Rev. ihor Kutash. Emotion and excite– ment ran very high, but worries also existed about the facilities and problems we had heard about, which thankfully never materialized. When the plane landed in Kyyiv, І was there to welcome the group at Boryspil Airport. As tour organizer, І had arrived two days earlier to check on arrangements.

We spent that afternoon looking at the many fully furnished houses from all regions of Ukraine that dot the beautiful rolling countryside of this outdoor museum. That evening the choir went to the Taras Shevchenko Kyyiv Opera House to see a ballet called "Legend of Love" (Lehenda pro Liubov).
