“Come from away” tells the true story of 7 thousand passengers coming from all over the world who remained stranded for five days in a distant town in Canada he September 11, 2001when they unexpectedly landed on the island of Gander, Newfoundland (Newfoundland) and forever changed their lives as well as the universe of that small Canadian town that welcomed them with the purest solidarity.
That day 38 planes were diverted from their destinations to land on that Canadian island, which in minutes saw its population double and even triple while Humanity was going through one of its most difficult moments in history.
The passengers who were stranded for days in this town recovered their faith in humanity thanks to the empathy, dedication and warmth with which the inhabitants of this town received and comforted them.
