Directed by Christopher Ashley. ‘Come From Away’ recounts the real-life story of human perseverance, tolerance, and compassion when the world needed it the most. While the United States air space was blocked after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, a few thousand passengers found themselves stranded on an island far away from their loved ones. The fear of the uncertain future overwhelmed them, but in all the darkness, they found hope from people whom they had never met in their lives.
The heartwarming movie captures the biggest terrorist attack in human history in a new light and gives the message of brotherhood and compassion. If the premise intrigues you, then here’s everything you need to know about the film.
What is Come From Away About?
On an unfortunate day on September 11, 2001, when the United States witnessed arguably the most atrocious terrorist attack in modern history, it sent shockwaves around the globe. While the tragedy was unfolding, the US air force diverted flights to Gander, Newfoundland, to avoid any further casualties and gain control of the airspace, wary of possible attacks. Eventually, the island ended up with 7000 clueless airline passengers who were understandably soon made aware of the heartbreaking reality of their situation. ‘Come From Away’ tries to capture the experiences of the islanders and the few thousand passengers who found themselves in the company of one another in a dark time when the future seemed uncertain, and the feeling of ever-present danger appeared never to go away.
However, the compassion and generosity that bring together strangers on that day just show that humanity still found hope despite the overwhelming negativity and darkness. In case you wish to experience the unexpected magical connection that these passengers and islanders shared between them, then you must watch ‘Come From Away.’ Here’s how you can do that.
