The M Word

The M Word — Plot

Canada is the first country in the world to have an official multiculturalism policy, which is now over three decades old. Most people think that multiculturalism is a well entrenched principle in this country. Yet, at the first sign of disquiet in any part of the world, Canada's Multiculturalism policy is called into question. This hot-button issue is confronted head-on in this riveting documentary. The film records the history of various immigrant groups who are not officially recognized in history books. Can the word 'diversity' replace 'multiculturalism'? Is it just a word or a principle which determines how Canadians relate to one another?
