group of young people in Waterloo Region are putting their lives on display at the University of Waterloo's Theatre of the Arts on Saturday, as they perform in a play called I Am Rohingya.
The play is based on the true stories of all the actors, whose families fled Burma, also known as Myanmar, in the 1990s and eventually immigrated to Canada.
"Almost every part of the play reminds me of my past," said Ahmed Ullah, who at 22 is the oldest member of the cast.
Ullah said he was born in a refugee camp in Bangladesh, and that re-enacting that part of his life is painful. (Courtesy of CBC News)
