Come From Away is based on
the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland,
played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned
into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people
from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11,
2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander
cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that
we’re all part of a global family.
