In our first episode we explore the experiences of Sri Lankan Tamils before, during, and after the Civil War. It examines decades of discrimination, the impact of the 1956 Sinhala Only Act, and the devastating conflict that displaced hundreds of thousands and claimed over 100,000 lives. Through personal stories, the episode follows Tamil refugees rebuilding their lives in Canada while facing barriers such as unemployment, discrimination, language challenges, and family separation. It also reveals how trauma, displacement, and unresolved grief continue to shape aging, vulnerability, and the risk of elder abuse.
