In Their Words with Ryan Boyko is an original interview series about the people who brought Canada’s First World War internment operations out of silence and into public memory.
Season One features conversations with scholars, authors, filmmakers, advocates and descendants. Ryan explores why they picked up the torch, how they turned research and family discoveries into books, films, education and public recognition, what kept them going and what must happen next. These are not simply conversations about internment. They are the personal stories of those who refused to let this chapter of Canadian and Ukrainian Canadian history be forgotten.
Recorded live at the Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival. Produced by Armistice Films and Guerrilla Films for the Internment Museum of Canada 1914 to 1920, with support from the Shevchenko Foundation of Canada, Kontakt Ukrainian Television Network and the Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival.
