Newfoundlanders Away is a documentary created by 4 award-winning young filmmakers - Victor Oakes, Richard Wilson, Tracey A Loeffler, Chris Fraser. Shot on digital video during GIFTS Independent Media Producer's program. There is no question that Newfoundlanders have a strong cultural identity, but can it survive even a far-flung island off the western coast of the country? "Newfoundlanders Away" examines the tenaciousness of this unique Canadian culture through the lives of five Newfoundlanders who have chosen to re-locate. Through interviews, music and stunning visual footage, this colourful film answers that yes, culture survives without any question, even 7500 km from home.

Newfoundlanders Away was the runner-up for the 2003 EyeLens fiml festival
