“They say no man’s an island, but an island makes a man.”

When the world needed a place to land, a small town welcomed them home. Based on the remarkable true story of the 7,000 airline passengers suddenly stranded in Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001, Come From Away is a soaring celebration of generosity, community, and the extraordinary things that can happen when we simply take care of one another. As travelers from around the globe find themselves far from home, the people of Gander welcome them with open arms…and discover that strangers can become friends, neighbors can become family, and even the most uncertain moments can bring out the very best in us. Filled with infectious music, humor, and heart, Come From Away reminds us that home isn’t always a place. Sometimes, it’s the people who make room for you when you need it most.
