While I agree a Freedomite widescreen spectacular in the Kootenays with lots of explosions and mass nudity would be a draw, the real story of Komagata Maru seems like it would have a more multidimensional plot, from the Imperial Sikh Lancers passing through Vancouver in 1897 on the way back from Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, picking the area for retirement, Ghardar recruits arriving to join activist centers already seeded in Vancouver, Portland and Berkeley, their infiltration by the Anglo-Indian intelligence agent, William Hopkinson, assassinated on the Vancouver Courthouse steps, gun running expedition across the border to Sumas, wartime weapons rendezvous with German boats at sea, post WW1 absorption into the Indian Communist Party and eventually the world's deadliest civil aviation bombing. Should be serialized.
Indian Civil Service exam study papers like https://testbook.com/ias-preparation/ghadar-party and Wikipedia Ghardar and Stephenson entries have a much more plausible account and also illuminate the current Indian Govt concern with Canada's single minded Khalistani vote cultivation.
The CSE exam criteria are also really quite impressive for the breadth and depth of knowledge required. Wonder how it compares with ours?
I was the first Glavin to own a house in Canada. It was back when with a decent union job, a guy in his 20s could own a house. Out my back window was the Sikh Temple Sukhsagar, built in 1911, where the langar was named after Mewa Singh, the man who assassinated Hopkinson. Mewa was hanged, and he was regarded as a hero, and not without cause. His funeral cortege wound all the way from Queensborough, through New Westminster to Fraser Mills, in present-day Coquitlam.
