The movement of Latin Americans to Manitoba has brightened the province’s multicultural mosaic. They seem to have glided effortlessly into mainstream Manitoba. But many arrived in waves after political and economic catastrophes in Latin America. They’re victims of physical torture from Chile with lessons to offer in democracy.

They’re young folks from all over Latin America with stories of love and wanderlust fulfilled in Friendly Manitoba.
