An ongoing documentary series
Chapter OneNorthern Ontario
Every day, people leave home and start over in a country they've never lived in. Some go for work, some for school, some for love, some because they had to. And a lot of them land somewhere they don't know a single person.
Stories Beyond Borders is a documentary series about those people. Who they were before they left, who they're becoming now, and everything in between. The wins, the hard days, the stuff nobody tells you before you land.
I'm Ade. I moved too. People are crossing borders everywhere, and the ones living it rarely get asked. I want to change that, and I'm starting where I live. Chapter One is all about Northern Ontario. As the series grows, it'll travel to new regions, one chapter at a time.
Who I'd Love To Hear From
For Chapter One, anyone who's made Northern Ontario home after coming from another country. Maybe you came straight here, maybe you lived in Toronto or somewhere else in Canada first and moved up later. Students, workers, professionals, parents, people who came alone, people who came with family. Whether you've been here three months or ten years, and whether it's going great or it's been tough. Every story counts.
How It Works
It starts with a short form so I can get to know you a little. If it feels like a fit, we'll have a casual chat, no camera, just talking. Nothing gets filmed unless you're comfortable, you decide what you share and what stays private, and you'll see your story before it goes out.
Some stories get filmed in a day. Some I'll follow for a while. If you're a long drive from me, we can start with a video call. We'll figure out what works for you.
Your Story
A short form, about 10 minutes. Filling it out doesn't commit you to anything.
