At the end of the Spanish Civil War, almost half a million people moved by fear of reprisals to France. A hundred thousand of them were children. The French Government overflowed by the human avalanche, put them in improvised refugee camps. Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, former consul in Spain before the war, convinced the President of Chile to save more than two thousand refugees. The film tells the story of Julia, a little girl that escapes Barcelona with his father, a young widower. They embarked on the Winnipeg, a ship chartered by Neruda. That saved them from a dark future in Europe. Now, she is “a daughter of Neruda”, as the descendants of the 2,200 refugees call themselves.
Winnipeg, Seeds of Hope is an animated historical drama about a real ship chartered by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda that rescued over 2,000 Spanish Civil War refugees, including children, in 1939. The film follows Julia, a young girl who escapes Barcelona with her father aboard the Winnipeg, beginning a new life in Chile. It releases on July 10, 2026.
