Immediately following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,252 international flights carrying nearly 44,000 dazed and frightened passengers-most of them Americans traveling home-were suddenly grounded in Canada. What began as a frightening and frustrating experience for these passengers ended as a heart-warming testament to human compassion and the power of friendship Canadians opened their hearts and homes to those in need, pitching in to help make the passengers feel welcome. Inspiring stories of hope and unity emerged. Combining footage from those harrowing days with detailed personal accounts, compelling photos and powerful reunions, STRANDED YANKS documents a five-day period, from September 11 to September 16, when strangers became neighbors and a friendship between nations grew even stronger.
