This project embarks on a culinary journey with new immigrants, weaving together the rich tapestry of diverse baking traditions and personal stories. Breaking Bread is a cooking series that celebrates the stories of newcomers in one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities—one that’s quickly becoming more diverse with each passing year.
Stories of newcomers and Indigenous peoples who have experienced displacement and cultivated belonging in the traditional territories of the Stó:lō peoples (colonially known as the Fraser Valley).
The film features interviews with newcomer community members, and interviews with Indigenous community members, as the original peoples of this land, to highlight their shared experiences of facing the pressures of assimilation into dominant Canadian culture, while working to maintain their unique cultural identities, sense of belonging, and connection to the land through various means.
