Abstract
The crisis in Colombia in the 1990s was so acute that many members of the middle and upper classes opted to leave their country rather than risk their families’ safety. This project focused on upper-class Colombian families immigrating to Vancouver in 1999 when violence escalated: eight were interviewed in 2003-4 and two families spoke in detail on camera. I analyzed the effect of displacement on the structure of these families in terms of redistribution of power, changing gender roles, and adaptation to new lower status occupations. This research includes an ethnographic documentary, and this accompanying report discusses how it was made. These Vancouver cases are atypical of most immigration to Canada since they are whole families and wealthy families. Though little critical attention has been paid to the socio-psychological aspects of migration, this study shows how it profoundly affects individuals within families.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
