White Pine Pictures: Passage From India

This site describes the history of immigration from India and the making of a television documentary on this topic. It follows the life of an immigrant named Bagga Singh, who arrived in 1913, and his descendants. It also describes the events of 1914 surrounding the ship, the Komagata Maru, which carried would-be immigrants from India. In an act of racial discrimination, the Canadian government barred the ship from landing in Vancouver despite a court battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court.
