Continuous Journey chronicles events of 1914 voyage boat Komagata Maru who was transporting Indian immigrants to Canada. Due to a 1908 Canadian regulation, 376 immigrants from British India were rejected as this immigration policy excluded Indians and South Asians from entering the country. The stand-off lasted two months with a complex tale and global ramifications at a time when the British Empire seemed omnipresent becoming a turning point in the freedom struggle in India.
