In 1972, Ugandan dictator Idi Amin announced that all Asians, regardless
of their citizenship, had to pack up and leave the country - and he gave
them only ninety days to get out. Thousands of those Asian Ugandans
found refuge in Canada, including Anwer Omar. This year, nearly four
decades later, Anwer and hundreds of other exiled Ugandans gather for a
reunion picnic. Hear their stories on Escape from Uganda.
