Many of them suffer from post-traumatic stress, Bastian said, and the air show can be triggering. The local filmmaker was on a mission to document real-time reactions from people observing the annual Canadian Air Show, which has recently drawn criticism for being traumatic to new immigrants. I think we take our safety here for granted. With thousands of Syrians and other refugees now calling Toronto home, the air show has come under fire for showing off military aircraft in a way that can be traumatic for those who have lived in war zones. Imagine what that entertainment show does to people who were hiding in trenches every day, she said.
