The story begins during one of history’s darkest moments. What unfolds is filled with generosity, unexpected friendships, exhilarating music—and far more laughter than you might expect.

Based on the remarkable true story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, Come From Away celebrates the thousands of strangers who found themselves grounded together and the ordinary people who made room for them.

Funny, moving and unexpectedly joyful, this is a story about what we’re capable of when we choose to take care of one another.
