    Desc: Who You Were Yesterday: Directed by Heather Dirckze. It follows the journey of four young people as they uproot their lives and move from Dzaleka Refugee Camp to Canada for post-secondary education. In the first half of the film, the young students are preparing for what their new lives might look like and managing expectations for what is to come. On the other side of the world, their sponsors are preparing for their arrival with a mixture of excitement and nerves. As the film progresses, the students arrive in their new home as permanent residents of Canada, and start to face the realities that this opportunity brings. The unique stories of Tamasha, Blaise, Anicet, and Elisa are portrayed in this documentary that seeks to inspire and move young Canadians to get involved with WUSC's Student Refugee Program.
