Suddenly th ere’s nothing in between me and the sky.”\n\nIn the face of unimaginab le tragedy\, ordinary people chose extraordinary kindness. Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of Gander\, Newfoundland\, where a small t own opened its doors to thousands of stranded travelers on September 11\, 2001.
