QuarantinedLife and Death at William Head Station, 1872-1959
Peter Johnson - 2013-11-15
Experience the heartbreaking true story of the forgotten immigrants who arrived on Vancouver Island in the late 19th century, only to be struck by illness and abandoned by an unsympathetic government. Quarantined explores the struggles to establish a federally funded quarantine station, and serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers of neglect towards national health-care issues affecting the poor and disenfranchised. A cautionary tale with just as much relevance today as it did 100 years ago.
