A Rough Crossing -- Film Description:
"A Rough Crossing takes us on a journey back in time to the summer of 1940 when British parents would accept offers from families in the Dominions and the United States to take their children for the duration of the war. Eight evacuees, now fifty years on, recall the day they said goodbye to their parents and boarded ships which would chart a course through the dangerous waters of the Atlantic. Come on a journey into the past, with Tish, Don, Dorothy, Ann, Maggie, John, Martin and Denis as they share memories of their departure from England, arrival in Canada and time spent with Canadian families. No one knew the war would last so long, and the children who had hoped to be home by Christmas of 1940 would remain in Canada for the duration of the war. It is the story of sharing children across an ocean in a time of war."
