Screen the film in class and follow it with a debate on diversity, pluralism, social solidarity, immigration and/or human rights. In your opinion, does the population of Brooks reflect changing trends in the overall Canadian population? Have multiculturalism and the integration of new arrivals been a success in Brooks? Socially, is it more beneficial to focus on similarities than on differences? Why? What lessons can be learned from the Lakeside workers’ strike?
