The Hearts of Freedom (HOF) is a national community project that collects and preserves the personal histories of refugees from Southeast Asia—Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia—who came to Canada between 1975 and 1985 and the Canadians who assisted them. The refugee oral histories were completed with funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Department of Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and the DeFehr Foundation. One of the initial outcomes was the creation of a documentary film, Passage to Freedom (producer: Sheila Petzold), that features powerful oral histories of Southeast Asian refugees that made the dangerous journeys to Canada.
