When the Great War ended In November 1918, the people of the Lakehead could take pride in the contributions they had made. Over 6,200 people enlisted either as volunteers or conscripts. At home, the community supported the war by raising money to assist soldiers\u2019 wives, children, and other dependents. There were also campaigns to help finance the purchase of military equipment and to send personal items to the soldiers overseas. Bandages were rolled, shirts and underwear were sewn, and socks, sweaters, toques, and scarves were knitted by women for loved ones. By the end of the conflict, approximately 300 men and women from the Lakehead were killed overseas or died of illness due to their war service. Thousands more were wounded in body and mind. Where the Poppies Grow is a docu-drama that looks at the sacrifices made by people from the Lakehead to secure victory in the war.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Under the Red Star<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Under the Red Star (Trailer) | [ShebaFilms]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-Ive1Ojb_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Under the Red Star<\/strong>&nbsp;(2011) is a feature-length docu-drama about Finnish immigration and settlement in Northwestern Ontario.

The film chronicles the story of the Finnish immigrants who built Canada\u2019s largest labour hall and used it as a centre for their activities. The courage of these newcomers in the face of government and police crackdowns helped shape Canadian labour history.
