In Toronto’s multicultural heart, Canadian Latvian immigrants unite across generations in the “Daugaviņa” dance group to preserve their ancestral traditions through folk dance and journey to Latvia to participate in one of the biggest folkdance festivals in the world. The Latvian Nationwide Song and Dance Festival, held every five years, is one of the world’s largest folkdance events, with nearly three times the participants of the Olympic Games but rarely seen globally. The studio gained international recognition for its hit historical war drama Blizzard of Souls, which broke Latvian box-office records, was shortlisted for an Oscar in the Best Score category, and was featured in Variety’s Top 25 Best International Films.
